鈥淚 am glad my coastal research is recognized by 海角社区, as Louisiana is suffering a wide range of coastal hazards, like hurricanes, land loss, and hypoxia,鈥 Xue said. 鈥淢y success is not possible without the generous support from the Office of Research, the College of the Coast & Environment, the Center for Computational Technology and the 海角社区 High Performance Computing. I also would like to thank all the talents in my group, including research professors, postdocs, and graduate students. The honor belongs to all 海角社区 coastal scientists and 海角社区 A/AAPI faculty.鈥
Xue's research demonstrates the commitment to Louisiana's coast that shared throughout the College of the Coast & Environment and across 海角社区.
