Field Activity 97SCC01

Identifier 97SCC01
Alternate names G-1-97-LA
Purpose Lake Pontchartrain Geologic Framework and Coastal Processes study was to analyze environmental change focusing on evaluating environmental conditions, sediment quality, coastal processes and geomorphology.
Location Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana (North Beach, Old Pearl River, Lake Borgne, and West Middle River, LA), Louisiana
Summary Summary and evaluation of data is reference in http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/of98-805/html/flocks.htm
Info derived Vibracores used to derive high-resolution sedimentation patterns post Pleistocene geologic framework.
Comments These FACS logs were generated by Chandra Dreher in June of 2003, using the handwritten logbooks and personal accounts of the scientist and crew members. Samples are stored in PON96 at the University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA (for further information, contact Phil McCarty, pmccarty@uno.edu).
