Congratulations to University of South Alabama Civil Engineering graduate student Richard Allen on receiving the 2012 Nicholas Kraus Coastal Scholar Award from the American Shore & Beach Preservation Association.



The Nicholas Kraus Coastal Scholar Award is given annually to a graduate student who aspires to advance his or her knowledge and experience of coastal or riverine science through an internship with ASBPA. The winner will become the dedicated staff member for the ASBPA’s Science and Technology Committee. The Coastal Scholar will work hand-in-hand with practicing coastal experts to develop technical position papers with the Committee; and serve as the liaison for ASBPA with other graduate students in coastal and riverine sciences. The Coastal Scholar will work from their home institution and will participate with the ASBPA via conference calls and email. In addition to the experience of working with coastal experts. Richard will attend the 2012 ASBPA National Conference in San Diego to receive the award in October. Way to go, Richard!

Very Nice Dick!!!! :bow: Congrat's

I know it is a little delayed but thanks everyone for the support. I have been MIA and probably will be for a little while. My thesis work is starting to pick up and I will be busy these next few months. My thesis is focused on the engineering design of living shorelines. This has been a hot topic in the coastal science/engineering community. Esentially, living shorelines are an alternative to hard structures such as buckheads, which eliminate vital habitat. If you are interested in the topic let me know and I will try and post a little of what I am doing. You can also google "living shorelines" and find some information.

Tight lines!!

great work Dick, and congrats
