  • Corps of Engineers to install temporary radar system at Manistique Harbor

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District is installing an Integrated Radar Monitoring System (IRaMS) at Manistique Harbor, Michigan to collect fall wave data during the week of Oct. 7. The system will remain along the shoreline for several months to observe the interaction between waves and the harbor structures during storm events and validate numerical wave model simulations. Data collection and modeling will help with designing future repairs to the structures at Manistique. 

  • New engineering index will strengthen coastal management decisions

    Coastlines are ever-changing. Whether from nonstop wave action, wind or storms, these landscapes constantly shift and reshape, causing challenges for coastal managers. In response, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) researchers have created a tool to help assess the resiliency of our nation’s coastlines and improve coastal management strategies.
