Coastal Engineering Defense Information Analysis Center

CEIAC was established within the former Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) at the Waterways Experiment Station (WES). It is now part of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) and provides a focal point for information related to coastal engineering and science.

CHL is supported by CHL's multi-disciplinary technical staff, which offers expertise in the areas of coastal waves and currents, coastal sedimentary processes, coastal structures, dredging, coastal hazards and risk assessment. The CEIAC staff's expertise helps identify, process, and disseminate coastal engineering information in support of current defense research and development efforts and direct mission support. In addition, CHL maintains an extensive database of wave data, which can be transferred to users via file transfer protocol (FTP).

CEIAC serves as an information resource for all aspects of coastal engineering, including:

Coastal Navigation & Inlets
Coastal Waves
Contaminated Material Dredging & Containment
Forecasting Surf Zone Conditions
Harbor Waves
Logistical Capabilities for Sustaining Troops
Logistics-Over-the-Shore (LOTS)
Maintaining Operations in Harbors for Military Vessels
Navigation Structures
Predicting Operating Climates in the Nearshore & Surf Zones
Rapidly Implaced Breakwater Systems (RIBS)
Ship Motion
Shoreline Erosion Control & Prediction.
