Getting some book recommendations from Precious Daughter, who read 50 books this year. Fifty! And I struggle to read a whopping one per month. 🤦♂️ This new year I publicly pledge to read more. 📖

It’s that time of year again when engineers realize… we don’t have enough professional development hours! And we now race to get them completed before the end of the year.

Marker with inscription: Elyn Zimmerman American, b. 1945 Mississippi Meanders, 2019 Laminated tempered glass, steel and aluminum supports Gift of Sydney and Walda Besthoff, 2019.7 Installation funded by Donna Perret Rosen and Benjamin M. Rosen In the 1940s, the Louisiana Geological Survey hired a team of geologists led by Harold Fisk to identify the changes to the course of the Mississippi River since its modern meander belt was formed over 7,000 years ago. The report featured color-coded maps that identified 20 bands of the historic deltaic cycles. The imagery embedded in this bridge derives from the Fisk Maps and depicts the bands closest to New Orleans.

Visiting the New Orleans Museum of Art Sculpture Garden today. I especially like the Mississippi Meanders bridge. #NewOrleans #NOLA #Louisiana #CivilEningeering
People I know in San Francisco despise these things. As a civil engineer, I am skeptical that human and autonomous operated vehicles can safely coexist on the streets of any city. #CivilEningeering #NOLA

Governor Landry defies the will of the people and reasserts politics in the operation of the flood protection authority. This is unacceptable. Public safety must be paramount.

Pre-Katrina, political levee boards wasted taxpayer money and oversaw the construction of a “system in name only.”
Post-Katrina, two professional and non-political boards are actively engaged in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a world-class flood risk reduction system […]
