A big congrats to "Dr. Leo Guerrero" @leogape88 for successfully defending his PhD today! Very impressive research on the impacts of gold mining on rivers in the Amazon using field data, satellite imagery, and numerical models @LSUGeogAnthro@LSUHSS@riversarelife@clintwillson
What mechanisms control whether a meander cutoff will become a successful oxbow lake? Our NSF-funded project is working to answer that question using various methods, including collecting cores from oxbow lakes on the White River (Arkansas) @HoosierRiver@LSUGeogAnthro@LSU
This work is being done in collaboration with Doug Edmonds, Jose Constantine, and an impressive team of student researchers. Exciting results coming out soon!
We're hosting a session on “Hydro-geomorphic Impacts of Mining Activities on Fluvial Systems” at #AGU25, New Orleans.
We invite you to submit your abstract: agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/pre…
Deadline:July 30, 2025
Conveners: @LSUrivers, @ChannelWidth, Claudia Vega, @drjulianleyland
No travel required! @LSU is located on one of the world's largest rivers, providing a truly unique opportunity for students to learn through hands-on training during normal class periods. @LSUGeogAnthro Field Methods class measuring discharge on the mighty Mississippi River
Another exciting #AAG in the books. Congrats to Dylan Shoemaker for giving an excellent meander cutoff presentation! Always fun to catch up with good friends and fellow river nerds @LSUGeogAnthro
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Kory Konsoer (Associate Professor in Dept. of Geography & Anthropology) has been appointed as Associate Director for the LSU Center for River Studies.

How would you re-envision the Mississippi River waterfront in Baton Rouge? Thrilled to help a design class of @LSU Landscape Architects try to tackle this problem! Improving riparian ecosystems & how humans interact with rivers in urban spaces @LSUGeogAnthro#LSUontheMississippi
New paper on the Grand River (Michigan) assessing over 100-yrs of geomorphic change related to training walls built in the 1890's. I grew up 2 miles from this river so this work has been especially exciting for me @LSUGeogAnthrosciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Glad to attend a very successful and exciting #RIMORPHIS (river morphology information system) 2-day workshop hosted at Purdue University. Many thanks to the entire NSF-funded project team for bringing everyone together for this much needed ininitiate! rimorphis.org
Beautiful couple of days surveying in the Florida Keys and the Kissimmee River. Not a bad place to do science! @bona_riccardo @leogape88@LSUCSI@LSUGeogAnthro
Proving the 2,000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem is one way to build your résumé.
Current LSU freshman Calcea Johnson did just that last year.

This is one of the absolute best things in this gig! Congratulations @HiattH2O on your well-deserved promotion and tenure in @LSU_CCE! And, especially happy to help deliver the news to a fellow @ut_caee grad.
Excited to share our new paper in WRR looking at the relative contributions of curvature and topographic steering on momentum fluxes in meandering rivers

Good morning to everyone except #Cambodia's loggers - and maybe the rangers who marched us out of the forest at gunpoint. Watch our @MongabayOrg doco on illegal logging in Prey Lang and Preah Roka, as well as the communities trying to defend the forest
