Center for River Studies and Exhibition Design

Contracted by the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA), the CSS has partnered with researchers from LSU to design a coastal exhibition space in the Center for River Studies. As part of the Water Campus, the center and will house a 10,000 square foot physical model of the Lower Mississippi River Basin engineered to test sediment flows, distribution, and land building. The physical model is designed to test hydraulic and sediment dynamics along the Mississippi River from Donaldsonville to the Bird’s Foot Delta. The model serves as an important research and education tool to test large-scale management strategies in the river and the delta
