Buried late Quaternary fluvial channels on the Louisiana continental shelf, USA
On the subsiding shelf of Louisiana extensive systems of buried channels, corresponding to former fluvial systems, have been recognized at five different levels. Some channels are even larger than the modern Mississippi River.

Coastal marsh loss in Louisiana is attributed to plane dieback caused by processes that stress vegetation, and a common landscape pattern is broken marsh that expands at the expense of suurrounding unbroken marsh. This paper describes an intensive

The processes of geomorphic change in the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, were monitored for two years after the passage of Hurricane Frederic in September 1979. The slow partial recovery of the barriers lends support to the hypothesis
