• Seminar: Waves Through Aquatic Vegetation: Flow-Vegetation Hydrodynamics and Sediment Transport

    Fitts-Woolard Hall 3301 Raleigh, NC, United States

    Abstract: Aquatic vegetation alters the flow and sediment mobility within and around them, shaping coastal environments in the long term. Improved sediment transport relations for vegetated flows become fundamental for predicting sediment transport rates through aquatic coastal ecosystems. We investigate suspended sediment transport under flow-vegetation hydrodynamics in oscillatory boundary layers. We conduct experiments in a…

  • EWC Seminar by Francis de los Reyes (NCSU): An Engineer Talks About Poop

    Fitts Woolard Hall 2331 915 Partners Way, Raleigh, NC, United States

    Environmental, Water Resources, and Coastal Engineering Seminar Series Fitts-Woolard Hall 2331 An Engineer Talks About Poop (Alternatively, Challenges and Opportunities in Global Sanitation) Abstract: Most people don’t think about or don’t want to think about what happens to human waste- fecal material. Where do we poop, where does it go? This is a big, global…

  • MAE Distinguished Lecture: “Origami Engineering: Structures, Materials, and Robots”

    College of Textiles Convocation Center, Room 2225 Raleigh, NC, United States

    Abstract: We study the geometric mechanics of origami assemblages and investigate how geometry affects behavior and properties. Understanding origami from a structural standpoint can allow for conceptualizing and designing feasible applications across scales and disciplines of engineering. We review the basic mathematical rules of origami and use 3D-printed origami legos to illustrate those concepts. We…

  • Human Mediated Landscapes: Anthro-Geomorphology

    Fitts-Woolard Hall 2331 Raleigh, NC, United States

    co-hosted by COPRI and EWC Deltaic wetlands are uniquely vulnerable to Sea Level Rise due to their coastal setting, low elevation gradient, and high rate of subsidence in recently deposited sediments. Despite the inherent vulnerability, deltaic societies are also uniquely able to adapt to Sea Level Rise by making use of the riverine sediment transport system to locally increase elevation. Our research…
