Description :
Thirty-five sand hills that form six scattered groups rise abruptly from the flat late Pleistocene coastal plain in southeastern Louisiana. New studies confirm their eolian origin. Recently acquired thermoluminescence (TL) ages for the dunes provide an unprecedented opportunity for a better understanding of the coastal plain's late Quaternary climate history.
