The data archived here were collected as part of a Lake Pontchartrain Basin Geologic Framework and Coastal Processes Study. This work was part of a multidisciplinary evaluation of the geology, geomorphology, coastal processes, and environmental quality of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin. This study is part of the USGS Geologic Framework and Processes (GFP) Project. For further information about this study, refer to <http://coastal.er.usgs.gov/pontchartrain>.
