https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juTq5FKG7cw Have you ever wondered about the size of individual grains of sand at your favorite beach? Coastal engineers and scientists have. Knowing the range of sand grain sizes on a given beach can inform multiple coastal applications from designing robust beaches for flood risk management to beneficially using dredged sediment. However, collecting that information…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qQS_kmoYxM Sitting on the beach and watching the waves is something many of us envision as a dream vacation. But for a group of Marines and Sailors, observing and counting those waves — while estimating the speed and direction of the currents — is a critical mission. It is a manual, time-consuming process that carries…

In contested environments, the ability to move people, equipment and supplies depends on more than finding the shortest route. Dr. Danielle Whitlow, a research civil engineer at ERDC’s Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory, is helping develop decision support tools that bring engineering analysis into tactical logistics and maneuver planning. Her work focuses on helping planners understand how…

Soil and vegetation changes caused by wildfire damage amplify the risk of post-wildfire flooding and debris flows. It is a threat experts will be watching closely this year, as forecasts predict both a more active wildfire season this summer and El Niño conditions that…
