The Wetland Foundation® ...enhancing wetland education and research
More Information
The Wetland Foundation was initiated in 2008 by Drs. Karen L. McKee and Irving A. Mendelssohn. Following 30-year careers as wetland scientists, McKee and Mendelssohn began formulating a plan to leave a legacy that would support wetland education and research. Their goal was to establish a foundation and trust fund that would provide financial support and guidance to students of wetland science.
Together, they have published more than 200 scientific articles, technical reports, and book chapters on various aspects of wetlands. During their careers as teachers and scientists, they trained more than 70 graduate and undergraduate students and postdoctoral scientists, providing advice, financial support, and assistance in finding jobs in wetland science and related areas.

More Information
WAVCIS (wave current surge information system) is a monitoring system in the Gulf of Mexico comprised of meteorological, oceanographic instruments mounted on oil platforms. The data are received at LSU via satellite. A second component of the data involves oceanographic and meteorological data computed using high-powered computers at LSU's Coastal Studies Institute, School of the Coast and Environment. Information is obtained from offshore on a real-time basis and is available worldwide on the web. Oil spill responders, State and Federal agencies are utilizing the data extensively.
