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.

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

A great feature on the work DOCS' Matt Hiatt and some of his @lsu.bsky.social colleagues are doing in the Mississippi Delta
At the mouth of the Mississippi River sits one of the most important and endangered ecosystems in the country.
This piece from @pbsnews.org highlights some of the work MissDelta researchers and their colleagues are doing to understand and preserve this vulnerable area.

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.

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. 🧵

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.
