Field Activity 12BIM01

Identifier 12BIM01
Purpose Berm: The goal of this study is to assemble a baseline value of the sediment properties of the dynamic Chandeleur Island E4 Berm in order to track movement temporally, and to contribute to current and future modeling efforts. Marsh: Overall Goal 1) Evaluate if the berm or original barrier island sediment (primarily sand) are being sequestered in back-barrier environments (marshes and flats) or bypassing the system 2) Evaluate whether the berm emplacement influenced sedimentation in the back-barrier environments Specific Objectives and Tasks 1) Quantify recent (
Location Chandeleur Islands, LA and Vicinity
