NEW ORLEANS - Tulane University and Louisiana State University have been awarded $22M by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine to lead a 15-member consortium that will chart a new course for the future of the fragile Lower Mississippi River Delta.
The region where the river meets the Gulf of Mexico is crucial for U.S. commerce, energy, wildlife and people, but it’s also one of the most vulnerable coastal areas in the world.
Recent research shows the lower reaches of the delta retreating both above and below water. The river is also redirecting its flows to the east and west, which poses critical challenges to navigation and implications for water management, including the recent saltwater intrusion crisis.
The Mississippi River Delta Transition Initiative (MissDelta) consortium will include a team of 38 investigators working with the National Academies’ Gulf Research Program.
The group will begin engaging stakeholders this year as they work to project the evolution of the disappearing delta through the year 2100. (Tulane 11/01/23) Tulane, LSU Awarded $22M for Plan to Save Lower Mississippi River Delta - Biz New Orleans
