SSTORM Researchers Returned to the Gulf The major flooding of the Mississippi River in Spring 2011 encouraged SSTORM researchers to submit a RAPID grant proposal to the NSF. Drs. Corbett and Walsh have been studying sedimentation in the Gulf of Mexico for many years, and this summer they funded to study the sedimentary deposits from the recent flood in collaboration with Drs. Sid Mitra (ECU) and Kevin Xu (Coastal Carolina). A team of scientists worked aboard the R/V Cape Hatteras in August, collecting >50 cores in the coastal waters of Louisiana to measure seabed changes and properties. These samples and other data will be analyzed over the next year. If you are interested in this project or others, contact us. We are always looking for talented graduate students.
