Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Gulf Coast CESU: The St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for coastal research investigating the historically dynamic morphology within the Gulf offshore, and back-barrier environments in coastal Louisiana.
USGS and its state partner Louisiana Coastal Restoration and Protection Authority (CPRA) developed the Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) Program, to complement other coast-wide monitoring programs, such as the Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) and the proposed System-Wide Assessment and Monitoring Framework (SWAMP). This research will provide long-term data on the Gulf coasts of Louisiana that could be used to plan, design, evaluate, and maintain current and future barrier-island restoration projects.
The goal of this project is to promote cooperation between the USGS and Cooperative Ecosystems Study Unit (CESU) partner to continue coastal research and characterization of sediment texture, or grain size, within coastal-zone environments in order to evaluate relations between sediment-transport patterns, alongshore variability from the shoreline to Depth-of-Closure (DoC), geotechnical properties that influence the development of shoreline nourishment and restoration approaches, and to model-anticipated coastal-system response to storm events.
