ERDC’s Centrifuge Research Complex helps scientists and engineers model large-scale infrastructure problems in miniature while recreating real-world stress conditions. Listen to episode 71 to learn more about how the complex allows researchers to test failure mechanisms that would be too dangerous, expensive or impractical to recreate in the field. You can also watch a video…

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…

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…
