CC&E's Earth Scan Lab published this image of Tropical Storm Imelda and Hurricane Humberto earlier today.
DOCS' Paul Miller says the close proximity of the two storm systems is unusual.
"In fact, Humberto is expected to "tug" Imelda to the east and away from the U.S. coastline," he said.
A team of faculty from CC&E and College of Art and Design have been named finalists in the $50M Gulf Futures Challenge.
Their project? To build flood resilience and address electrical insecurity in four Gulf communities.

New paper alert!
Silt and clay look the same combined in the estuarine mud of the Delta. But differentiating between them could help researchers understand delta dynamics
MissDelta's Giulio Mariotti may have found a way to do just that

LSU DOCS is excited to announce a new BS in Coastal Meteorology.
"Our livelihoods in Louisiana are so intricately tied to the coast and to its weather that LSU is the natural place to study coastal meteorology,” said Robert Rohli, program director.

CC&E is on the road! It's great to see so many familiar faces at this year's State of the Coast Conference!
Congratulations to all CC&E faculty members to receive promotion and tenure letters!
Dr. Cassandra Glaspie of DOCS and Dr. Yong-Ha Kim of DES were both promoted to Associate Professor.
Dr. Victor Rivera-Monroy and Dr. Jun-hong Liang of DOCS were both promoted to Professor.
Miss yesterday's Distinguished Research Master presentations? Watch them here!
Congratulations again, Dr. Laws!
Featured in these pictures, we see Kevin Xu, Chunyan Li, Brian Milan, Charlie Sibley, Katie Hoy, Mimon Nura Alam Morsheduzzaman, and CODAR technician. Other PIs on the project include Drs. Sam Bentley, Paul Miller, and Z. George Xue.
HF radar stations provide crucial information about coastal conditions by taking near real time measurements of current direction and velocity and waves. The first picture is a map of sea surface current generated by the two stations (red squares).
We’ve got a signal!
LSU researchers had a chance to test out the new High Frequency (HF) Radar 13 MHz antennae in Grand Isle and Buras of Louisiana last week. Each radar station stretches about 25 feet into the air and has a range of ~90 km, or 56 miles. 🧵
Congratulations to CC&E's Distinguished Research Master, Dr. Edward Laws of the Department of Environmental Sciences.

A huge congratulations to DOCS PhD candidate Sarah Wang, who will be participating in @aslo.org's annual LOREX cohort.
Sarah will be headed to Umea University in Sweden to study the ecology of Peruvian seabirds in relation to the El Nino Southern Oscillation. Geaux Sarah!
Tomorrow!

It’s official! LSU has collected its first set of High Frequency Radar data.
Once fully installed, the HF Radar system will provide near-real-time monitoring of the speed and direction of ocean surface currents in coastal waters.

Meteorological tides – changes in water levels caused by weather conditions – can be powerful, difficult to predict, and have a larger coastal impact in Louisiana than their astronomical counterparts, says DOCS' Chunyan Li.
