Williams Scientist Uses Computer To Protect Lake Shoreline
Williams College scientist Dr William Fox and Western Michigan University’s Dr Richard Davis use an IBM 1130 computer to model Lake Michigan shoreline erosion. They feed 17 variables from offshore contours to wave data, gathering 6100 readings to forecast shoreline changes. The three year study, funded by the Office of Naval Research, aims to guide breakwater placement and could extend to ocean shores. A spinoff picks spots with best surf in Los Angeles area.
