LSU Civil and Environmental Engineering professors have received a grant from the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) to study how rising sea levels and climate change impact coastal military bases and ecosystems.
Under the $9.3m grant, LSU professors Scott Hagen and Clint Willson will work alongside the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Environmental Laboratory (ERDC-EL) and the University of Delaware.

BATON ROUGE, La., May 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Sometimes years’ worth of studies and research can turn into a collaboration that will not only help the nation’s military but also coastal land-margin regions around the globe. Such is the case with LSU Civil and Environmental Engineering Professors Scott Hagen and Clint Willson and LSU College of the Coast & Environment Professor Robert Twilley, who recently received a $9.3 million grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to work alongside the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Environmental Laboratory (ERDC-EL) and the University of Delaware to explore how sea-level rise and other impacts of climate change will affect coastal military bases
U.S. Army Researchers Lead New NATO Standard for Vehicle Mobility Courtesy Photo | One of the most important outputs from the Next Generation NATO Reference Mobility.. read moreread more Courtesy Photo | One of the most important outputs from the Next Generation NATO Reference Mobility Model (NG-NRMM) is a data-rich, graphical, map-based representation of terrain types and how well, or poorly, a vehicle can traverse that terrain. In the left image, green-colored terrain represents terrain on which the sample vehicle can move quickly, while darker, redder-colored terrain is slower to traverse. On the right, the NG-NRMM computes a “best path” for vehicles traversing terrain. The NG-NRMM is a high-fidelity, computational model to show how well a given vehicle can move over terrain, providing commanders and leaders quality, real-time information to inform on-the-ground operations.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded researchers at The University of Toledo $1.4 million to develop enhanced technology for early detection and management of harmful algal blooms, Lake Erie s environmental menace and a worldwide problem.
Dr. Youngwoo Seo, professor of civil and environmental engineering and chemical engineering in the UToledo College of Engineering, leads the three-year project to improve water quality from the source to the tap.
