09WCC01 (CMHRP activity #189)

Identifier

09WCC01

Purpose

Feasibility study to address wetland change affected by flooding through subsidence, sea-level rise, and storm impact on the Chenier plain.

Location

Grand Chenier, LA

Summary

Push and peat cores were collected at nine sites located within the saline and brackish marsh.

Info derived

X-radiographs, grain size, paleontological (diatoms, forams), bulk density, organic matter

Comments

D. Wagner & J. Sanford created a chilled transport storage device. Additional equipment: YSI Model 30 conductivity meter.

Platform

Airboat

Per OPS Manager, platform was transferred to the Gainesville office around 2016.
