Borja works at the intersection of climate risks, nature-based engineering, and coastal sustainability to advance climate risk solutions in coastal areas, with a special interest on nature-based solutions. His research and teaching interests span areas of climate change, engineering and adaptation.

At UCSC and the Coastal Science and Policy Program, he studies how climate change affects coastal hazards, works to reduce risk from sea level rise and extreme weather events, and advances the use of natural infrastructure and nature-based engineering for climate resilience, in close partnership with partners in the public and private sector in the U.S and internationally. His research work has informed new policy to protect coastlines and coastal infrastructure such as the USCRTF Resolution 47.2 that declared US coral reefs as National Natural Infrastructure in 2022; and developed innovative resilience insurance concepts that align climate risk and environmental goals such as reef insurance in Mexico and Hawaii with The Nature Conservancy and the risk industry.

For this research, he combines numerical modeling with statistical and data science techniques. Dr. Reguero holds a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering and Environmental Hydraulics, a M.S. in Coastal and Port Engineering, and a M.S. in Applied Economics.
