#Reshaping Coastal Morphologies: Adaptive Regeneration of Coastline Terrains Using Natural Sedimentation Patterns for Mangrove Catchment Zones
By the incredible Meghna Roy @roy_is_it #MSSD’24 with @dcupk and @design_thinker for @acadiaorg ‘24 @cmusoa
This research explores natural sedimentation phenomena by coupling computational and physical simulations to reinforce coastal zones, drawing inspiration from mangrove growth. The focus is on analyzing sedimentation patterns to identify interventions that support a self-sustaining strategy for land regeneration in the form of barrier islands, serving as mangrove nursery catchment areas. As the limitations of reactive and post-disaster shoreline management plans have proven inadequate, the studies in mitigation based on natural longer-term behaviors hold the promise of more resilient coastal ecosystems.

2025 March :: 12 posts 12 months. MARCH moved from lion to lamb to lion, giving us a good excuse to stay inside and tackle long-term house projects. Cleaning out old art supplies turned up these childhood drawings and poems, where Nick was already imagining a future in the service. Close to home, the Highland Reservoir Pump Station emerged from the ground five years after the first sketches, a reminder of how it takes ideas, patience, and time to shape what we build.
