    People wade and paddle down a flooded street as Hurricane Sandy approaches, Oct. 29, in Lindenhurst, N.Y. Gaining speed and power through the day, the storm knocked out electricity to more than 1 million people and figured to upend life for tens of millions more.

    CHL’s Pre-Hurricane Sandy and Pre-Nor'easter Modeling

    ERDC Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL), working through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Reachback Operations Center (UROC), was asked by the USACE New York District to provide numerical modeling of potential inundation and overland flooding for Hurricane Sandy that made landfall on Oct. 29 and the nor'easter that followed on Nov. 7.

    ERDC’s Coastal Inlets Research Program, or CIRP, advances the state of knowledge and develops engineering technology for predicting the waves, current, sediment transport, and morphology change at and around inlets. Products of the CIRP improve management and design of coastal inlets through increased reliability of actions and reduction in operation and maintenance costs. The CIRP takes a variety of approaches, including developing concepts and theory for all relevant time scales, numerical simulation, field data collection, and laboratory experimentation.

    CHL Researchers Host CIRP Webinars

    Researchers with ERDC’s Coast and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) recently gave a series of two-hour webinars on "Coastal Modeling System Basics."
