Scientific Purpose/Goals: As part of the fourth year of the Barrier Erosion Study, the USGS and LGS will be collecting high-resolution seismic data to augment and fill in survey data collected since 1986. The objective is to determine the shallow morphostratigraphy of the Louisiana barrier delta plain using seismic and core information.
