TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY COASTAL ENGINEERING & NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS SHORT COURSE
Dr. Thomas Huff joined EWN program director Dr. Jeff King to discuss Nature-Based Solutions’ benefits and costs at a short course presented by Texas A&M University. They were also able to visit the USACE Galveston Coastal Project Site to observe the grey and nature-based features used to protect Galveston Harbor.
NEW PAPER ALERT!
Take a look at our new collaborative effort with NOAA and USGS, documenting performance of built coral ecosystems.

INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ECOLOGICAL MODELLING (ISEM) GLOBAL CONFERENCE 2023
Drs. Todd Swannack, Emily Russ, and Ms. Carra Carrillo of the ERDC Environmental Laboratory represented the Integrated Ecological Modeling Team (EcoMod) at the International Society of Ecological Modelling Global Conference 2023 in Toronto, Canada on May 2-5. Each team member presented novel research being developed by EcoMod, including the 1) development of a Generalized Vegetation Model for applications across a variety of habitats, 2) a coupling framework and demonstration that integrates hydrodynamic, geomorphic, and ecological models for a comprehensive marsh model, and 3) considerations for data collecting and parameterizing processes-based integrated engineering and ecological models from long term field studies.
