  • CRREL researchers honored with USACE Environmental Quality Award

    Two researchers from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in Hanover, New Hampshire, have been awarded a national environmental award from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

  • Simulation now a fixture to optimize USACE navigation projects

    For years, the U.S. Army Watercraft and Ship Simulator — located at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi — has served as an important resource for district engineers. Whether planning new inland waterways, designing deep-draft coastal channels, or enhancing existing structures, districts could leverage the simulator and its team.

  • ERDC-EL researchers join USACE New Orleans District-led Maurepas Swamp Project

    A team of experts from ERDC-EL are supporting the New Orleans District in their River Reintroduction into Maurepas Swamp Project, an initiative that will divert freshwater from the Mississippi River back into the swamp through a 5.5-mile controlled-flow diversion and extend the swamp’s lifespan and habitat, providing benefit to approximately 45,000 acres within the swamp. The project aims to improve the cypress-tupelo swamp’s health by adding vital nutrients and flushing stagnant, low-oxygen water.

  • ERDC Concrete Expertise Helps Advance Montgomery Locks and Dam Modernization

    The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) recently supported a major step toward modernizing one of the Ohio River’s oldest navigation structures, successfully validating specialized mass and underwater concrete mixtures needed to construct a new 110-foot by 600-foot lock chamber at Montgomery Locks and Dam.

  • ERDC summer interns dive into research, community

    This summer, nearly 150 high-school, undergraduate and graduate students are working in Vicksburg, Mississippi, as interns at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC).

  • Collaboration key to accelerating mission delivery across USACE environmental portfolios

    The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is helping transform how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) approaches environmental cleanup. By delivering advanced science, technology, and engineering solutions, ERDC is actively working to accelerate remediation, reduce risk, and return contaminated sites to productive use.

  • ERDC-EL Director Dr. Edmond Russo retires after 30+ years of service

    After more than three decades of service to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Dr. Edmond Russo, director of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Environmental Laboratory (EL), closed the book on his storied career.

  • ERDC researchers use mobile trailers to expand critical messaging along inland waterways

    Low water, shoaling or missing buoys can cause hazardous conditions along our nation’s waterways, putting ships and crews at risk. Even the smallest disruptions in navigation can have catastrophic consequences for supply chains and the movement of essential goods across the country, impacting the economy. To help mitigate these hazards and strengthen gaps in broadcast coverage, researchers at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) are using deployable mobile trailers to ensure that critical messages can be transmitted to vessel traffic.

  • ERDC, USACE Mobile District deploy innovative 3D-printed oyster reefs in Mobile Bay

    Maintaining the nation’s waterways requires removal of millions of cubic yards of sediment to keep navigation channels safe and reliable. A team at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is advancing a different way of thinking about material: rather than treating dredged sediment solely as something to manage, how it can it be used as an engineering resource to strengthen coastal systems? ERDC’s Environmental Laboratory, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Mobile District and regional partners are evaluating whether dredged sediment can be transformed into 3D-printed structures that provide oyster habitat, improve shoreline resilience and expand beneficial use opportunities.

  • Pettway named American Society of Civil Engineers Fellow

    Dr. Jacqueline Pettway, deputy director of the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), has been elected a fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
