Introducing the Emriver EmFlume1.5! We've been building stream tables and flumes since 2008, and are excited to offer this new tool for teaching open-channel hydraulics and sediment transport. Come see it in action (and the Em4 Stream Table) at GSA Connects in San Antonio, TX, October 19-22!

Great article! We're happy to have shipped an Em2 to the Kansas Geological Survey a couple weeks ago. 🙂 We applaud the emphasis here on conversation, relationship building, and cross-pollinating ideas. Hope their new Emriver inspires much of the same! 🌊 tinyurl.com/3yxk9m6z

Laisse les ensoleillés temps rouler! Today is our one year solar activation anniversary. 🥳 Our system has produced 19.31 Megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity, which Enphase says is equivalent to 13.8 tons of CO2 reduction, 231 trees planted, or 1.66 million phones charged!

There's a LOT worth knowing here "Coastal areas are especially vulnerable, not just because of storms and floods, but from rising seas and erosion. That includes one-fifth of Americans. The good news is that there is a lot we can do." 🎁 tinyurl.com/y87bzthv

The tribes have big plans for what comes next. An immense effort [...] more than 17 billion seeds slated for planting and at least a thousand trees ready [...] Over time, the river will slowly turn back into the vibrant, free-flowing ecosystem it once was. heatmap.news/sparks/klama...

Introduction 👋🏻 Emriver is a micro business in Carbondale, IL. (Go, Salukis!) We make emulated rivers... stream tables that demonstrate how waterways and landscapes interact and change over time, sediment transport, meandering, deltas, etc. Solar powered since February! 😎 What's your favorite river?
