Dr. Katie Brutsche led the Regional Sediment Management Program for several years.  Regional Sediment Management is the "RSM" in the title of this podcast, and the reason this project exists.  RSM is the aspirational conceptual model of the Corps of Engineer's sediment management over the last couple decades.  We talk about the principles of RSM, the RSM process, some example projects, sediment budgets, and some surprising stats that you probably don't know about dredging.Before Dr. Brutsche led the program she was a distinguished researcher and practitioner in coastal sediment management.  So in this episode, we increase the scale, and move downstream a bit to talk to Katie about that whole world of "post-river" sediment. Check out the RSM WebsiteThe "Beneficial Use" guidance Katie mentioned is: EM 1110-2-5025 Dredging and Dredged Material ManagementVideo shorts and other bonus content are available at the podcast website:https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/confluence/rasdocs/rastraining/latest/rsm-river-mechanics-podcastand the HEC Sediment YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/stanfordgibson
