As South Louisiana and other coastal regions gear up for what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts will be an above-normal 2022 hurricane season, University of New Orleans student Md Mohiuddin Sakib will spend the summer researching ways to combat the environmental impact of such storms.
Sakib, a doctoral student in earth and environmental sciences, has been awarded a 10-week paid internship at the Water Institute of the Gulf within the Coastal and Deltaic Systems Modeling Department.
Sakib’s research focuses on numerical process-based models. Numerical modeling enables researchers to simulate large-scale experiments that would be too costly or impossible to perform on a real coastal area. More here.
