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!

The project is funded by NOAA. To learn more, visit our website: www.lsu.edu/cce/mediacen...

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.

CC&E's LA-SEER Center is hosting a series of live online talks focused on risk and resilience related issues.

On April 9, hear from Louisiana's Chief Resilience Officer, Stephen Swiber.

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.

Did you know CC&E has a summer camp?

It's a great opportunity for rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors to learn about Louisiana's coastal challenges, and to build the skills needed to meet them!

We're celebrating #WorldWetlandsDay a little early this year, as we take a look at the March of the Mangroves.

CC&E student researchers are investigating what the encroachment of black mangroves mean for Louisiana's coastal marshes.
