The unpredictability of a meandering river can be something very beautiful in the landscape, but it can also be seen as something that has the potential to create serious problems when it comes to local settlements and river crossings. A meander is formed when the sediment from the outer bank (concave bank) of the stream […]
[framework] As we know, golf courses are usually targeted as utilizing excessive amounts of water. It is reported that each golf player takes around 2500 gallons of water per day to support his game based on golf course average water use. This is the reason why golf courses are usually blamed by the society for […]
As algae cultivation becomes more common, we can expect the general public’s comfort level with it to increase. And as traditional carbon fuel gas stations becomes less prevalent, refueling stations for our automobiles can be configured in new manners that reflect our investment in carbon-neutral, eco-friendly algae fuels. This speculative conception of the future visualizes […]
Framework vs. As the world’s energy demand continues to rise, there exists a concurrent increase in greenhouse gas emissions stemming from fossil fuels consumption. As a result a need for renewable energy sources is rapidly expanding. Biofuels represent a large segment for potential energy, but as ethanol has demonstrated, finding an energy source that doesn’t compete […]
Our process will consist of the creation of the correct and proper ecology and natural circumstances for cultivation and extraction of algal oil produced in photobioreactors. As this diagram shows, water is conditioned and prepared with nitrates and fertilizers which will become boosters for the newly inoculated algae seeds. Water, then, is circulated for approximately […]

{framework} Louisiana’s oil and gas infrastructure is a complex system. As a physical infrastructure it consists of wells, pipes, off-shore oil rigs, refining stations, submerged barges, and other technologies. It is also deeply embedded in natural ecosystems including freshwater wetlands, estuaries, and ocean environments. The built infrastructure has had a significant and often devastating impact […]
The Mississippi River Delta is the area of land built up by alluvial deposits from the Mississippi River at the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico. This process has led to the extension of the Louisiana coastline into the Gulf 15-50 miles and the creation of vast coastal wetlands and salt marsh. The representation of […]
FLUCTUATING INFASTRUCUTRE INTRO The water flow of the Mississippi has many factors that influence where it turns, bends, rises, falls, increases in speed, or even decreases in speed at some points. These factors are known as levees, dams, spur dikes, and locks. There are 29 locations where these locks/dams are located along the Mississippi, 27 […]
