Proceedings 18th Annual Meeting Natural Resources Research Program PDF Download

The Corps of Engineers (CE) Natural Resources Research Program (NRRP) meets each year to provide for professional presentation of current research and to discuss related operations activities and problems. In conjunction with this meeting, the Civil Works Research and Development Program Review is held. This review is attended by the technical monitors and representatives of the Civil Works and Research and Development Directorate of the Headquarters, US Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE); the Program Manager, NRRP, and representatives of the operations and planning elements of the CE Division and District offices, including those designated as Field Review Group (FRG) members for the research program. The overall objective of this annual meeting is to thoroughly review the Corps' natural resources/recreation needs and establish priorities for future research, such that identified needs are satisfied in a timely manner. The technical findings of each research effort conducted under the NRRP are reported to the Manager, US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, each year in the form of quarterly progress reports and a final technical report. Each technical report is distributed widely in order to transfer technology to both the operating elements and the technical community. (kr).
