Influences of relative sea-level rise and Mississippi River Delta plain evolution on the Holocene Middle Amite River, Southeastern Louisiana

Auteur :
AUTIN, W. J.

Description :
The Holocene geomorphic history of southeastern Louisiana's middle Amite River is recorded in the stratigraphy of three alloformations, identified in decreasing age as the Watson (WAT), Denham Springs (DS), and Magnolia Bridge (MAG). Base-level influences of the relative sea-level rise and the Mississippi River delta plain were so dominant that the effects of possible climate change were not recognized in the Holocene Amite River system.
