🔴 UL Lafayette leading international flood resilience project

A research team from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette recently met with U.S. Ambassador to Guyana Nicole D. Theriot during a visit supporting a major U.S.-funded flood resilience project.

Backed by more than $697,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the initiative is led by Emad Hosny Habib, professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and director of the University’s Louisiana Watershed Flood Center and its Institute for Coastal and Water Research UL Lafayette (ICaWR). It focuses on flood resilience and climate adaptation for communities across the Caribbean region, including the South American nation of Guyana.

“The project illustrates the global impact of our research and education programs" at UL Lafayette and its College of Engineering, Habib said.

The team is working to develop advanced flood modeling tools, build critical data systems, and train local professionals to sustain these efforts long term.

The project is in collaboration with McGill University, Imperial College London, and the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH).
