Motivated for glass recycling and coastal restoration? Convert crushed glass to sand for Louisiana coastal restoration projects. See attached flyer for glass recycling in LSU energy, coast and environment building.

Louisiana’s coastal waters will soon be a little safer, thanks to LSU’s new, NOAA-funded High Frequency Radar system.

HF Radar measures sea surface currents and waves, providing near-real time monitoring capabilities up to approximately 100 miles off the coast.

LSU researchers from Oceanography & Coastal Sciences, LSU Geology & Geophysics and the LSU Coastal Studies Institute recently tested out one of the new antennae in Buras and Grand Isle.
