LSU is the flagship institution of Louisiana and is one of only 30 universities nationwide holding land-grant, sea-grant and space-grant status.

Since 1860, LSU has served its region, the nation, and the world through extensive, multipurpose programs encompassing instruction, research, and public service. The university brings in more than $150 million annually in outside research grants and contracts, a significant factor for the Louisiana economy.

Fluvial Geomorphology & River Morphodynamics

Dr. Konsoer is interested in process fluvial geomorphology, particularly the interactions among river hydraulics, sediment transport, and channel morphology, and how human activities impact river systems. Current research projects are focused on understanding the influence of vegetation on water and sediment routing in the Mississippi River Delta; using field measurements and Machine Learning to evaluate reservoir sedimentation across the US; combining remote sensing, field data, and numerical models to advance understanding of meandering river dynamics and oxbow lake formation; and riverine suspended sediment dynamics and flux to coastal environments.

Associate Professor and Associate Director for the LSU Center for River Studies

Six LSU students, led by LSU Department of Geography & Anthropology Assistant Professor Kory Konsoer, embarked on a 16-day field study trip, covering 5,000 miles and 12 different states, to explore the Mississippi River basin from the mouth to its headwaters this summer.
