LSU Engineering Researchers Seek Advancements in Underwater Construction
November 15, 2023 BATON ROUGE, LA – In 2022, the average global sea level reached a record high at 101.2 millimeters—four inches above 1993 levels. That same year, the National Weather Service recorded an all-time high of 13 “significant weather events.” Both of these statistics signal a greater challenge when it comes to the resiliency of coastal communities and their infrastructure, but it’s one a pair of LSU Engineering researchers are taking on through a nearly $500,000 National Science Foundation Future Manufacturing Award.
