So proud to see LSU CC&E researchers leading the way in coastal solutions!

LSU is co-leading a new $4 million National Science Foundation Focused EPSCoR Collaboration award that connects Louisiana’s deltaic wetlands with Rhode Island’s salt marshes to build tools for coastal planning that work in both—and, the team hopes, in coastal systems nationwide.

On Friday, CC&E celebrated the retirement of Tommy Blanchard, the longtime manager of the Wetland Biogeochemistry Analytical Services (WBAS) lab.

WBAS provides researchers the chemical analyses they need to better understand environmental conditions, and Blanchard was instrumental in building it into the sophisticated research enterprise it is today. He retires after more than 28 years of service, having supported countless research projects and contributed to a greater understanding of coastal and environmental systems.

Dr. Song Li will step in as WBAS lab manager.

Bon voyage Tommy! Good luck with your next chapter!
