Video #80: Ship simulator takes on key role in civil works projects

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRqxhdhXcOY Navigating modern waterways demands precision engineering to safeguard our economy, prevent maritime accidents and eliminate millions in unnecessary construction and dredging costs. To meet this challenge, an order from U.S. Army leaders and an updated Engineering Regulation have established the U.S. Army Watercraft and Ship Simulator, located at ERDC’s campus in Vicksburg, Mississippi, as…

Resources: #79: Dune Extraction

Natural dunes are a powerful tool for coastal resilience, but engineers need more knowledge about their unique dynamics to fully harness their potential. Listen to Episode 79 to learn more about an innovative ERDC research project that relocated a live dune segment from a Florida beach to a Mississippi laboratory to study the ecological drivers of…

#79: Dune in the Flume: ERDC team relocates natural structure to laboratory to study dynamics

October 6, 2026 Christopher Kieffer 0:31:04 Comments Off

Natural dunes are a powerful tool for coastal resilience – offering the ability to absorb wave energy, reduce flooding and prevent erosion. However, coastal engineers need more knowledge about their unique dynamics to fully harness their potential. To boost this understanding, an ERDC team relocated a live dune segment from a Florida beach to a…

#78: Defending Communities from Glacial Floods: ERDC seeks to deploy lidar system in rugged Alaskan environment

September 29, 2026 Christopher Kieffer 0:33:41 Comments Off

Annual glacial outburst floods from Suicide Basin present a severe threat to downstream homes, businesses and infrastructure in Juneau, Alaska. As Suicide Glacier retreats, the expanding basin traps massive amounts of seasonal meltwater before suddenly releasing it down the Mendenhall River valley — emptying the basin in 48 hours or less. As the U.S. Army…

Resources: #78: Defending Communities from Glacial Floods

Annual glacial outburst floods from Alaska’s Suicide Basin release huge volumes of water into the Mendenhall River valley in just hours, threatening downstream communities and infrastructure near Juneau. Because traditional monitoring systems are often unable to handle the harsh environment around the basin, ERDC is looking to deploy a rugged, non-contact terrestrial lidar system –…

#77: Technical Exchange: ERDC researcher to study flood mitigation strategies in Japan

Video: #77: Studying flood mitigation strategies in Japan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEi-04sMRBk Extreme weather events are not unique to the United States. That is why an ERDC researcher will be traveling to Japan to study with experts there and collaborate on strategies that can reduce flood risk in both nations. Dr. Amanda Tritinger, a research civil engineer at ERDC’s Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, was recently selected…
