Dredging Seminar Offered In Georgia

The University of Georgia’s Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems (IRIS) will offer a new 3.5-day course titled “Sustainable Sediment Management” June 3-6.

The course will be held in Athens, Ga., and it will be led by IRIS professors Ram Mohan, Brian Bledsoe and Todd Bridges. The course will explore principles and practices of sustainable sediment management in coastal and riverine contexts through in-depth presentations on concepts, engineering and operational practices, methods, modeling and technologies. It will also include detailed case study examinations of design, construction methods and projects. Topics will include sediment and dredging processes, beneficial use, nature-based solutions and strategic sediment placement. Multiple small-group breakout sessions will be used to foster dialogue, problem-solving and application.
