A little exploring, a lot of smiles and some excellent headwear! 🌎🌿

Our Tulane Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences retreat brought colleagues together for time away from the everyday routine and a chance to connect. The Junior Ranger hats added a little extra department spirit!

Here’s to the people who make our EES community special—and to staying curious together. 💚

Join Tulane Earth & Environmental Sciences for the next McWilliams Seminar Series featuring Abigail Eckland, Ph.D., a Tulane alumna and postdoctoral researcher at Louisiana State University New Orleans.

Dr. Eckland will present “Reservoir Sedimentation and Delta Dynamics Across Scales,” exploring how sedimentation in surface-water reservoirs affects both upstream and downstream deltas. Her research examines processes ranging from sedimentation within a large semi-arid reservoir in New Mexico to sediment accumulation across thousands of U.S. reservoirs and the effects of inland sediment trapping on coastal deltas.
