Samantha Lucker from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's (ERDC) Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) talks about how ERDC's Sand Boil Filter kit is enabling better management of our nation's levees during an Aug. 2, 2023 episode of the Power of ERDC podcast. Lucker is a research geologist. She talks about what sand boils are and why they must be promptly addressed (5:04), and how ERDC’s new filters will improve on the current process (7:56) and enable better levee management (9:04). Lucker also discusses how this effort started (17:00), how it builds on ERDC’s deep expertise in studying the Mississippi River (22:54), and how researchers are improving the filter’s design (21:00) to increase its usage (25:23). The Power of ERDC podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at ERDC’s involvement in solving some of the nation’s toughest engineering challenges.
