  • Interior designer set for third deployment in a year

    In less than a year, an interior designer with the U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (Huntsville Center) has deployed twice in 2024 to aid in disaster response and recovery.

  • Street Closure Announcement: Destrehan Avenue in Harvey will continue to be closed due to construction on Harvey Floodwall

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began construction on a floodwall in Harvey, La. In December of 2024. Due to the nature of the construction and proximity to the roadway, Destrehan Avenue will remain closed to traffic until June 2025.

  • Warning Horn Below Table Rock Dam Not Operational

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers advises all individuals downstream of Table Rock Dam that the warning horn, which typically signals changes in water levels, is not operational. While the horn at the dam continues to function and will sound before any water level changes, those farther downstream may not hear it.

  • Seasonality of Solute Flux and Water Source Chemistry in a Coastal Glacierized Watershed Undergoing Rapid Change: Wolverine Glacier Watershed, Alaska

    Abstract: As glaciers rapidly lose mass, the tight coupling between glaciers and downstream ecosystems results in widespread impacts on global hydrologic and biogeochemical cycling. Knowledge of seasonally changing hydrologic processes and solute sources and signatures is limited. We conducted a broad water sampling campaign to understand the present-day partitioning of water sources and associated solutes in Alaska’s Wolverine Glacier watershed. We established a relationship between electrical conductivity and streamflow at the watershed outlet dividing the melt season into four hydroclimatic periods. Across hydroclimatic periods, we observed a shift in nonglacial source waters from snowmelt-dominated overland and shallow subsurface flow paths to deeper groundwater flow paths. We also observed the shift from a low- to high-efficiency subglacial drainage network and the associated flushing of water stored subglacially with higher solute loads. We used calcium from watershed outlet samples to estimate solute fluxes for each hydroclimatic period across two melt seasons. Between 40% and 55% of Ca2+ export occurred during the late season rainy period. Partitioning of the melt season coupled with a characterization of the chemical makeup and magnitude of solute export provides new insight into a rapidly changing watershed and creates a framework to quantify and predict changes to solute fluxes.

  • Restoring J. Strom Thurmond: USACE Park Volunteers Emphasize Helene Damage

    SAVANNAH, Ga. – It’s pitch black. Al and Tina Carpenter sit huddled in a campground bathhouse; their two dogs nestled between them. The wind howls, and rain hammers against the roof, while the deafening crash of trees echo throughout the park.

  • Soo Locks to open early for 2025 shipping season

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District will open the Poe Lock, part of the Soo Locks, in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan early to all marine traffic at 8 a.m. on March 21, marking the start of the 2025 Great Lakes shipping season. The shipping industry requested an early season opening based on the understanding that “the 2025 winter lock maintenance will be completed by this date and an early opening will not impact U.S. Army Corps operations this season,” said Lake Carriers’ Association President James Weakley. “Opening the Soo Locks on March 21 will provide relief to the increased pressure that the Great Lakes Navigation System will face with the influx of foreign vessels including the Canadian domestic fleet on March 22 when the Seaway opens,” said Weakley.
