The Coastal
Morphodynamics Laboratory (CML) was founded in 1991 to facilitate graduate student and
faculty research in Coastal Morphodynamics. The CML offers a wide range
of state-of-the-art field, laboratory equipment and computers for research
in coastal processes including wave hydrodynamics, hurricane impacts,
sediment transport, beach and nearshore profile measurements, GIS/RS,
mapping, database, and sedimentology. CML houses a wave tank with a fully
automated wave generator. It also has a wide array of instrumentation
customized for hydrodynamics and sediment transport filed experiments,
and a Total Station laser beach profiler. Computing platforms include
IBM mainframe, Intergraph workstations, and Pentium PCs. CML interfaces
with a field support group through the Coastal Studies Institute at LSU.
