  • ERDC collaborates with U.S. Air Force, UK Met Office to enhance dust modeling forecasting

    Strengthening defense against dust outbreaks is a priority for the U.S. Air Force (USAF) 557th Weather Wing and the United Kingdom (UK) Met Office. Dust modeling technology developed by researchers from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Geospatial Research Laboratory (GRL) to tackle dust related issues could be the key to overcoming this challenge.

  • ERDC researchers design, test new mobile treatment for relief wells

    A multi-agency team of researchers and specialists from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Vicksburg District, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and industry collaborator WaterStep have partnered to design and test a new approach to clean and maintain relief wells from biofilm buildup. The new technology is called the Relief Well Sustainment (RWS) Deployable Resilient Installation water Purification and treatment System (DRIPS) mobile trailer.

  • ERDC synergizes at the Army Engineer Association industry exhibit

    From April 24 to 28, a team of U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) representatives attended the exhibit portion of the Army Engineer Association (AEA) Regimental Week at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.

  • Using a “Big Data” approach to find threats, fight terror

    Whether at home or abroad, the main goal of any commander is to keep Soldiers safe. With that in mind, researchers at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) have been using large amounts of historical data, social media activity and news articles to identify the best indicators of when and where a terrorist attack may take place. This “Big Data” approach uses massive amounts of available information, along with high-end parallel computing, to find important clues that aid in the fight against rogue activities.
