The TRCC opened in 2016 and features laboratories, offices, and a public meeting space with views of the Mississippi River. The building is managed by the ByWater Institute, but scholars from the Department of River-Coastal Science and Engineering also use the facilities on a daily basis. The meeting space can be used by any organization for programming relevant to the TRCC mission. For reservations, please contact trcc@tulane.edu.

He is one of the foremost experts on the Mississippi River’s sediment transport processes.
