River-Coastal Science and Engineering

Welcome to the Department of River-Coastal Science and Engineering (RCSE) at Tulane University. The RCSE is a unique educational enterprise in the US focusing on the world’s river, deltaic and coastal systems using the combined science and engineering approach pioneered by the Tulane's School of Science and Engineering (SSE).  We provide certificate programs and unique undergraduate and graduate courses of study. The RCSE draws heavily upon the deep expertise of faculty and staff within the department as well as partners within the SSE and in Tulane’s other schools and research units like the Bywater Institute.
