CCHT Hosts ADCIRC Week

The CCHT served as the local hosts for ADCIRC Week (working alongside Jason Fleming from Seahorse Coastal Consulting). This week has two parts: an annual conference of ADCIRC users to discuss the latest advancements and new research directions; and a boot camp to introduce new users to ADCIRC and SMS. It was great to see everyone again, and we learned a lot.

ADCIRC Users Meeting was held in the Hunt Library.

Nahruma wins People’s Choice Award at EWC Symposium

Nahruma Pieu won the People’s Choice Award at the Environmental, Water Resources, and Coastal (EWC) Engineering Graduate Research Symposium, hosted by the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) at NC State University. She was one of two presenters to win the award, which was voted by attendees at the symposium.

Nahruma received the People’s Choice Award from CCEE Department Head, Dr. Gibson.

“I’m thankful that my work was well received by the community,” Nahruma said. “I’m especially grateful to my advisor, Dr. Casey Dietrich, whose guidance and support made this possible. I’m also thankful to the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) for funding my work on predicting coastal dune erosion, which will be necessary given our recent climate change scenario, as storms increase in frequency and intensity.”

Congratulations to Nahruma!
