I am honored to present our cutting-edge #CompoundFlooding research to the @lsu Board of Supervisors this morning! Big thanks to Provost Haggerty for the invitation, Dean Clint Willson for the warm intro, and support from LSU_CCE, @LSU_CCT, and LSU ORED #WBTTW

Speaking of the devil (#compoundflooding), high waves and extreme rainfall in South Louisiana's coastal region around midnight on 9/12 (flood.lsu.edu) is forecasted ahead of a potential hurricane #Francine. Stay informed and prepared! 🌊📷LSU College of the Coast & Environment LSU

🚨 #HurricaneHelene is no joke. We're predicting waves over 10 meters! 🌊 Check live forecasts at flood.lsu.edu for updates. How can we strengthen our coastlines against more frequent and intense hurricanes? Let's prioritize resilient solutions! #WBTTW

How is Louisiana affected by #Helene? The heavy rainfall will trigger flooding in the Mississippi River, altering salt, Carbon, O2, and sediment on Louisiana coast. Coupling between river & ocean coupled model is critical for forecasting flood.lsu.edu #WBTTW LSU College of the Coast & Environment

🌊 The warm waters in the SW Gulf of Mexico have been persisting for quite some time, continuously fueling #Milton. 🌡️ This is yet another reminder that climate change and global warming are real and happening now.

Nature is both intimidating and amazing. Just look at the cold water eddy developing beneath the trackline of #Milton. Many thanks to our Federal partners. This ocean forecast is driven by the most advanced Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System (HAFS) at NOAA #HAFS #WBTTW

🌊 My 5th PhD student, Daoyang Bao, will be defending his research on "Forecasting Hurricane-Induced #CompoundFlooding Using Hybrid Numerical and Machine Learning Models" on October 16, 2024, 2:30 PM CST. In-person or via Zoom: lsu.zoom.us/j/8331981440 #Florence #Harvey #Milton

Today is the day! 5 years, 3 papers, 1 fantastic defense. Congratulations to brand new Dr. Bao—Coupled Ocean Modeling Group Ph.D. #4. It is a great pleasure to have such talents at LSU! It is time to celebrate! Geaux Tigers! #WBTTW

On 10/31, I will present 'Hybrid Numerical & AI/ML Models for Coastal Hazards' at Tulane University. The seminar covers model integration for better hazard predictions. Join in person at 600 Boggs Hall or via Zoom: tulane.zoom.us/s/97646918368

Exploring the wetlands in VR! 🌊🌿 Coupled Ocean Modeling Group engaged K-12 students at #OceanCommotion with immersive virtual wetland surveys, inspiring future ocean scientists! #VR Louisiana Sea Grant LSU College of the Coast & Environment

Join us in supporting Le Zhang, the 5th Ph.D. candidate from the Coupled Ocean Modeling Group LSU, to defend her dissertation this Friday at 9:00 AM CST. Title: "Understanding and Quantifying Carbon Export to Coastal Oceans through Deltaic Systems." lsu.zoom.us/j/8331981440

Congratulations to Dr. Le Zhang—Coupled Ocean Modeling Group’s 5th Ph.D., freshly 'off the stove'! Another four are currently ‘simmering’ in the pipeline. Dr. Zhang will begin her postdoctoral research UMCES

I will give a webinar in NOAA's Coastal Ocean Modeling Science Seminar at 12 pm CST today focusing on integrating numerical models with AI/ML techniques to enhance predictions of coastal hazards 🔗 Join Here: lnkd.in/gDAeM8sV

Busy day at #AMS2025! Coupled Ocean Modeling Group presents 3 talks/posters today: 🌀 2:15 PM: Hurricane-Induced Salt Variation by Dr. Xiaochen Zhao 📜 3:00 PM: Hybrid AI/Numerical Flood Models by Daoyang Bao 🌊 5:15 PM: AI/ML Hypoxia Forecasting by Dr. Z. George Xue #AMS2025

📢 New Paper Alert! 🌍 Why are the Mississippi River & Gulf of Mexico ideal for OAE?💡 Rivers vs. ocean: Which is more efficient?🔬 Scaling OAE in the top 25 rivers could remove 23.23 Mt CO2/year! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… #CarbonRemoval #OAE Brad Ives

The Mississippi River surged ~4 m in Baton Rouge in Apr: USGS gage: +3.95 m (Feb 12–Apr 15)* @NASA_SWOT satellite: +3.99 m* Different platforms, near-identical results. Ground + space = smarter flood monitoring. * Preliminary data, slight time offset. LSU College of the Coast & Environment LSU Research
