Dredging Research. Vol.1, No. 1
Abstract
Historically, Corps dredging research in the 197Os focused on understanding ecological impacts of dredged material disposal, and on evaluating and managing sediments. In the 198Os, research concentrated on reducing costs of dredging, improving dredging operations, and increasing project management efficiency. The challenge for the 199Os and the 21st century is balancing the navigation dredging mission with environmental protection criteria. To assist with this task, research at WES has integrated the operational and environmental aspects of dredging and disposal in the Dredging Operations and Environmental Research program.
