Description

Over the last 10 years, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been working on an initiative called Engineering With Nature that uses natural processes and systems to deliver a broad range of economic, environmental, and social benefits.  EWN, as it is called, is developing and implementing nature-based solutions for infrastructure, engineering, and water projects.  EWN brings together a growing international community of scientists, engineers, and researchers, from all kinds of disciplines to collaborate on how best to harness the power of nature to innovate, solve problems, and create sustainable solutions.  This podcast tells their stories.   It’s a show about innovation and collaboration.  It is about combining natural and engineering systems.  And it is about amazing results for infrastructure, the environment, and communities.  Scientists and experts will talk about how they are transforming traditional approaches to infrastructure challenges across the US and around the world by applying the principles and practices of EWN.    Sarah Thorne of Decision Partners has been working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the EWN initiative for the past decade, and, through this podcast, will share stories of the people, their unique collaborations, and a broad range of projects that exemplify the principles and practices of EWN.  We hope you’ll listen to the show and be inspired!
