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
This work is being done in collaboration with Doug Edmonds, Jose Constantine, and an impressive team of student researchers. Exciting results coming out soon!
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
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: https://t.co/NjBBpHyWoU
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 @LSUGeogAnthro

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! https://t.co/5zUA3CABlj
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.
