CIRP Technology-Transfer Workshop
May 17, 20-21, 2010

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District
7400 Leake Avenue
New Orleans, LA 70118

The USACE New Orleans District (MVN) hosted the CIRP's 12th Annual Technology Transfer Workshop (and 34th workshop overall) on May 17th (Beginner's Day) and May 20-21st (Main Hands-On Workshop).  The workshop featured two CIRP products, the Coastal Modeling System (CMS) and the recently released Channel Portfolio Tool (CPT). 

• The CMS is an integrated wave, current, sediment transport, and morphology change suite of models available within the Surface Water Modeling System (SMS) (available from http://cirp.usace.army.mil/products/sms.php). 
• The CPT is a Corps-accessible web-based tool that allows navigation channel depth to be related to U.S. and foreign commerce transiting that depth (accessible via https://itlgis01.usace.army.mil/ECID/Default.html). 

Presentations from engineers at the Jacksonville and New England USACE District offices highlighted applications of the CMS to regional coastal navigation projects.  Nineteen attendees participated in the SMS-CMS Beginner Day on May 17th.  Forty-one participated in the hands-on workshop during May 20-21, with representation from 13 USACE District and Division offices, seven consulting engineering firms, NOAA, Louisiana Office of Coastal Restoration and Protection, and five universities. Special guests were Jim Walker, USACE Headquarters Navigation Business Line Manager, and Jeff Lillycrop, Technical Director for Navigation. Attendees provided feedback and new ideas for the recently-updated CIRP wiki (http://cirpwiki.info/wiki/Main_Page). 

Thank you to New Orleans District for hosting us, and to all our attendees and speakers!

Our next technology-transfer workshop is scheduled for February 7-9, 2011, in conjunction with the Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association’s (FSBPA) conference at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida (see http://www.fsbpa.com/conferences.html). Watch the CIRP website for details as they become available and to register for this workshop.
