The EWN research team from the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), together with partners from the Network for Engineering With Nature (N-EWN), in coordination with local agencies, has undertaken a groundbreaking study to investigate the ecological drivers of dune stability. This research will improve our understanding of the role of natural vegetation in dune resilience under extreme wave action, which is crucial for informing coastal management practices and restoration designs.
The excavator carefully pushes a steel box to capture a section of a small dune so that the team can study it at the ERDC's laboratory. (U.S. Army photo by Brigida I. Sanchez)
