In Memoriam: A tribute to Paul D. Komar (1939-2023)
Peter Ruggiero
It is with tremendous sadness that the international coastal community learned of the passing of Professor Paul D. Komar on Wednesday, 22 February 2023. Paul was the editor of Shore & Beach between 1996 to 1998 and over the years he published many articles in the journal. Paul was a faculty member at Oregon State University from 1970 until his retirement in 1998, after which he continued to contribute actively as an Emeritus Professor — particularly through memorable interactions with students.
