College of the Coast & Environment
Your Future Awaits
From our location near the mouth of the Mississippi River, the College of the Coast & Environment has a front-row seat to coastal and environmental changes impacting our state, nation, and the world. We see firsthand the effects of stressors such as coastal land loss, pollution, and severe weather. CC&E’s coastal and environmental research advances knowledge about these stressors--and much more--helping to deepen understanding of the ever-changing natural world and its relationship with our lives, livelihoods, and recreation. This research provides sound science so that stakeholders can make informed decisions. Every day, our students work alongside world-renowned multidisciplinary experts, acquiring the skills and abilities necessary to tackle complex coastal environmental challenges.

Beyond the Forecast: At LSU, Steve Caparotta Instructs the Next Generation of Coastal Meteorologists
Steve Caparotta, a familiar face on Baton Rouge televisions for over two decades, has taken on a new role at LSU as an instructor, bringing his wealth of real-world meteorological experience to the classroom.
This year, the winning projects for the LSU Provost's Big Idea seed grants feature faculty from across the College of the Coast & Environment. They are working on a variety of teams whose interdisciplinary research projects show the potential to make big impacts on Louisiana's coast, agriculture, energy infrastructure and defense. However, varied the research, though, the projects share a common theme: resilience.
CC&E is excited to welcome its newest set of alumni!
