Welcome Campers! CC&E's first-ever Coast and Environmental Sciences Summer Camp kicked off today with a trip to the LSU Lake for some practice collecting water samples.

Our LSU first generation study abroad students started their monthlong program today at the International Programmes Office, UG and I had very productive meetings with their staff and with faculty and fellows from the Institute for Environment & Sanitation Studies.

🎉 Big shoutout to DOCS grad student Rongqing Nikki Du for snagging FIRST PLACE in the Oral Presentation category at the State of the Coast student competition for her work on the "Hydrodynamic–Sediment Transport Model in Galveston Bay during Hurricane Harvey"!

Time lapse of last month's Mississippi River crest from along the batture at LSU's Skip Bertman Drive. The river crested near 42.5" (major flood stage) on May 1-2, five days after our camera took a dunk! #lawx LSU College of the Coast & Environment

So long summer campers! From kayaking to poster presentations, we had a great week!

How do green buildings perform over the long term? Environmental Sciences PhD candidate Oluwafemi Awolesi has developed Operational Sustainability Index to measure how sustainably designed buildings perform. lsu.edu/cce/mediacente…

Summer is sunscreen season. But even as they protect us from the sun’s harmful rays, some common sunscreen ingredients may be impacting our natural environments. CC&E's Jon Doering is investigating the effects of these chemicals on marine life. lsu.edu/cce/mediacente…

Peak daylight, peak discoveries! 14 hours and 12 minutes of daylight with today's summer solstice. Enjoy ☀️Tigers!

DOCS' CoMET Lab is predicting 5 hurricanes in the Gulf this season. This forecast is based on atmospheric temperatures in the month of May, says DOCS Associate Professor Paul Miller, who runs the lab. Learn more: lsu.edu/cce/mediacente…
