Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): Julie Bernier
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Julie Bernier
Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Geology
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Quantify accommodation-space formation, subsidence, and erosion in areas of historic wetland loss
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Sulphur, LA
End Port/Location: Sulphur, LA
Start Date: 2010-08-02
End Date: 2010-08-15
Equipment Used: Choke Ring Antenna, Ashtech Z-Xtreme DGPS, Push Corer
Information to be Derived: - GPS sediment-surface elevations will be used to estimate one-dimensional and three-dimensional accommodation space formed by historic wetland loss, - Stratigraphic analysis will be used to estimate the magnitude and rate of subsidence and erosion betwee
