Tulane alumni couple s $2 million gift will target climate change, coastal issues via two professorships, symposia

  Haunted by memories of Hurricane Katrina’s devastation, an alumni couple with deep ties to Tulane and New Orleans has made a $2 million gift to the university that aims to pack a one-two punch against climate change and coastal erosion. David and Jane Flowerree have established two professorships aimed at finding solutions to the environmental crisis facing Louisiana and other areas threatened by rising seas, warming temperatures, and weather-driven disasters. The School of Science and Engineering (SSE) will serve as home to the David and Jane Flowerree Professorship in River-Coastal Science and Engineering, which will be held by an early-career academic. Founded in 2017 and chaired by Professor Mead A. Allison, the Department of River-Coastal Science and Engineering focuses on river, deltaic and coastal systems using Tulane’s innovative science and engineering approach.

W M Keck Foundation grant to Tulane could spark breakthrough optical, wireless technologies

Keck Foundation to do what no physicist has ever done before: see through opaque matter using superoscillations of light in a time-domain spectroscopy lab. That phrase might be difficult for the layperson to grasp, but its results could eventually transform a wide range of fields and technologies, from wireless communications and remote sensing to X-rays and security screenings.
