Previous geologic research on Holocene Mississippi River deltaic deposits has verified that
the present delta plain and associated nearshore barrier islands and submarine shoals are …

Sediment cores and water column measurements of suspended sediment and flow
conditions were taken on the continental shelf off the Atchafalaya River in Louisiana to …

This study investigates the changes in circulation, sediment resuspension, sediment flux and
salinity that accompany" winter storms" in the Atchafalaya Bay region, events that occur 20 to …

The Sepik River, with an estimated annual sediment load of∼ 85× 106tyr− 1, empties
directly into a submarine canyon that transverses a narrow continental shelf (< 5km) on the …

The Atchafalaya River in Louisiana shares the third largest drainage basin in the world with
the Mississippi River. Sediment cores and seismic profiles were used to examine the …

The effect of a cold front passage on suspended sediment concentrations, water
temperatures, and coastal circulation off Louisiana is examined via remote sensing with the …

The Atchafalaya inner continental shelf, located along the north-central Gulf of Mexico
offshore of Louisiana, is an area of rapid mud accumulation associated with the …

Using 28 topographic profiles, air-photo interpretation, and historical shoreline-change data,
coastal processes were evaluated along the Chenier Plain to explain the occurrence …

Repeated shifting of the locus of deltaic deposition (delta switching) has been the
fundamental process by which the complex delta plain of the Mississippi River has been …

Urbanization and industrial development pressures have seriously impacted coastal
ecosystems, including vegetated intertidal and subtidal marine habitats such as barrier …
