Quantify subsidence and erosion in areas of historical wetland loss
Location
Louisiana Delta Plain
Summary
Collected 22 vibracores and 6 push cores from 2 study areas near Jean Lafitte. Recorded water depths at each core site and along transects between core sites.
Info derived
Sediment-surface elevations and stratigraphic analysis (especially, peat thickness and depth to the organic-clastic contact) will be used to estimate the magnitude and rate of subsidence and erosion between marsh and open-water core sites.
