The Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory conducts erosion control research in a number of areas, including beach, shore, harbors, reservoirs, dams, levees, and streambanks. Various work units are involved in the design of solutions to erosion problems, incorporating both innovative and traditional methods. Sediment studies assess the effects on sedimentation of implementing a proposed alteration to a particular study area or system and often use numerical modeling. Numerical wave modeling is used to study the unique ways waves move sediments and erode shorelines, often disrupting navigation. CHL staff also conducts research in erosion from boat-generated forces and flood, coastal, and storm damage reduction.
