00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:14,380
charged with operating more than 13,000 

3
00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:16,610
miles of coastal navigation channels . 

4
00:00:16,910 --> 00:00:19,132
The U . S Army Corps of Engineers needs 

5
00:00:19,132 --> 00:00:21,490
robust decision support technologies to 

6
00:00:21,490 --> 00:00:24,660
better manage its vast portfolio . The 

7
00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:26,438
Coastal Inlets Research Program 

8
00:00:26,438 --> 00:00:28,493
Research has strived to infuse these 

9
00:00:28,493 --> 00:00:30,280
technologies into the hands of 

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,160
practitioners to ensure mission success . 

11
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:35,797
A central goal of the research program 

12
00:00:35,797 --> 00:00:37,574
is to advance our knowledge and 

13
00:00:37,574 --> 00:00:39,574
technology to better predict future 

14
00:00:39,574 --> 00:00:41,840
channel shoaling . The syrup develops 

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,810
predictive tools such as coastal 

16
00:00:43,810 --> 00:00:46,040
numerical models and conducts data 

17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,270
analytics toe identify where the core 

18
00:00:48,270 --> 00:00:50,430
can reduce the cost of dredging for 

19
00:00:50,430 --> 00:00:53,200
federal navigation projects . Gallops 

20
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,256
in District Applied surfaced in Cade 

21
00:00:55,256 --> 00:00:58,710
tool to the island in the past to 

22
00:00:58,710 --> 00:01:02,340
evaluate the essentially shoreline 

23
00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:05,880
change and methods that we could use 

24
00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:08,390
toe make this shoreline more resilient . 

25
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:11,100
So we've looked at things like where 

26
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:13,322
could replace breakwaters ? Where could 

27
00:01:13,322 --> 00:01:15,544
we play speech ? Nourishment on gin que 

28
00:01:15,544 --> 00:01:17,750
gives us the power toe . Quantify the 

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,760
results of those changes , so we're 

30
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,816
able to use it to find the most cost 

31
00:01:21,816 --> 00:01:23,816
effective solution provides a great 

32
00:01:23,816 --> 00:01:25,704
benefits , so the search operates 

33
00:01:25,704 --> 00:01:27,982
within the physical space of estuaries , 

34
00:01:27,982 --> 00:01:29,982
coasts and the open ocean , with an 

35
00:01:29,982 --> 00:01:32,149
emphasis on coastal navigation and the 

36
00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:34,038
core's operations and maintenance 

37
00:01:34,038 --> 00:01:35,982
mission . Much of the contemporary 

38
00:01:35,982 --> 00:01:37,982
history of inland engineering began 

39
00:01:37,982 --> 00:01:40,204
within the core , starting in the early 

40
00:01:40,204 --> 00:01:42,204
20th century with the definition of 

41
00:01:42,204 --> 00:01:44,316
disability of title limits , which is 

42
00:01:44,316 --> 00:01:46,538
important for optimizing the design and 

43
00:01:46,538 --> 00:01:48,316
with in depth of inlet entrance 

44
00:01:48,316 --> 00:01:50,204
navigation channels . Today , the 

45
00:01:50,204 --> 00:01:52,427
Coastal , its research program works on 

46
00:01:52,427 --> 00:01:54,149
the advancement of our coastal 

47
00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:55,982
numerical modeling tools for the 

48
00:01:55,982 --> 00:01:57,760
prediction of hydrodynamics and 

49
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,816
sediment transport , as well as deep 

50
00:01:59,816 --> 00:02:02,038
analyses into our nation wide portfolio 

51
00:02:02,038 --> 00:02:04,930
of navigation data sets to optimize 

52
00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:07,430
design and maintenance and operations 

53
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,010
of our coastal navigation assets . This 

54
00:02:10,010 --> 00:02:11,621
improves the accuracy of our 

55
00:02:11,621 --> 00:02:14,220
engineering designs and our overall 

56
00:02:14,220 --> 00:02:16,580
value to the nationwide operations and 

57
00:02:16,580 --> 00:02:18,970
maintenance program . The Army Corps of 

58
00:02:18,970 --> 00:02:21,110
Engineers spends more than $1 billion 

59
00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:22,930
each year on the operation and 

60
00:02:22,930 --> 00:02:25,041
maintenance of more than 1000 coastal 

61
00:02:25,041 --> 00:02:27,430
navigation projects . Given the 

62
00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:29,263
challenges and understanding the 

63
00:02:29,263 --> 00:02:31,430
physical processes of coastal inlets , 

64
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,910
the Coastal Inlets Research Program was 

65
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:36,132
created to meet the demand for research 

66
00:02:36,132 --> 00:02:38,440
and development . The program develops 

67
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,107
a robust suite of engineering 

68
00:02:40,107 --> 00:02:42,770
technology focused on coastal modeling , 

69
00:02:42,980 --> 00:02:45,320
inlet engineering in Lee Geum , or 

70
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,850
Thick Evolution and Coastal Navigation 

71
00:02:47,850 --> 00:02:50,550
portfolio Management technologies 

72
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:52,606
derived from field data collection , 

73
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:55,150
laboratory experiments and numerical 

74
00:02:55,150 --> 00:02:57,830
modeling address concepts and theories 

75
00:02:57,940 --> 00:03:00,440
at time scales ranging from hourly 

76
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,920
events , toe long term century scale 

77
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:06,090
trajectories . These tools are designed 

78
00:03:06,090 --> 00:03:08,090
to support the Corps of Engineers , 

79
00:03:08,090 --> 00:03:10,201
from engineers and scientists working 

80
00:03:10,201 --> 00:03:12,320
at the project scale to regional and 

81
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,431
national level business line managers 

82
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:17,000
overseeing the navigation operations 

83
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,510
and maintenance program . Tidal inlets 

84
00:03:19,510 --> 00:03:22,180
are very dynamic , complex environments , 

85
00:03:22,180 --> 00:03:24,513
and they can be really tricky to manage . 

86
00:03:24,513 --> 00:03:26,650
And tricky toe design projects within 

87
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,530
the Coastal Endless Research Program 

88
00:03:29,530 --> 00:03:31,510
has been incredibly valuable toe 

89
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,760
springing expertise in terms of data 

90
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,460
collection and modeling tools and 

91
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:39,670
technical expertise that can really 

92
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:41,730
help us manage these projects better 

93
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:44,211
and operate them more effectively and 

94
00:03:44,211 --> 00:03:46,250
cost effective . The Coastal Inlets 

95
00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:48,040
Research Program is a very well 

96
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,290
developed programme , very well 

97
00:03:50,290 --> 00:03:53,040
respected program with a long history 

98
00:03:53,050 --> 00:03:55,820
of researchers working within it , 

99
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:57,830
developing the tools that they have 

100
00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:59,997
today . I think one of the things that 

101
00:03:59,997 --> 00:04:03,130
makes it especially valuable to us is 

102
00:04:03,140 --> 00:04:05,960
that the researchers understand the 

103
00:04:05,970 --> 00:04:08,192
practical applications of the work that 

104
00:04:08,192 --> 00:04:10,303
they're doing , so they developed the 

105
00:04:10,303 --> 00:04:12,710
science and the tools , but they're 

106
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:14,766
very effective for us to use them on 

107
00:04:14,766 --> 00:04:16,766
practical applications and projects 

108
00:04:16,766 --> 00:04:18,950
within the district's . The Coastal 

109
00:04:18,950 --> 00:04:21,570
Inlets Research program offers modeling 

110
00:04:21,570 --> 00:04:23,400
techniques that accelerate the 

111
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,511
prediction of processes from days two 

112
00:04:25,511 --> 00:04:28,310
hours and cuts costs by several orders 

113
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:30,400
of magnitude . And the program is 

114
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,622
closely connected to the communities of 

115
00:04:32,622 --> 00:04:34,511
practice . It serves through wide 

116
00:04:34,511 --> 00:04:36,789
ranging technology transfer activities , 

117
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,984
allowing it to quickly incorporate 

118
00:04:38,984 --> 00:04:40,890
feedback from the field into its 

119
00:04:40,890 --> 00:04:44,170
technologies . As a result , the Serbs 

120
00:04:44,170 --> 00:04:46,250
pioneering research is infused into 

121
00:04:46,250 --> 00:04:48,720
field ready tools at the rapid speed 

122
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,680
demanded by a changing engineering 

123
00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:51,280
field .
