Dimensions of Holocene relict channels and sedimentological characteristics of point bars associated with these relict channels were used to reconstruct a Holocene history of long-term changes in magnitudes of 1.58 yr floods in Upper Mississippi
Essai de prévision des changements du lit fluvial du Mississippi par analyse de corrélation multiple sur un certain nombre de paramètres: longueur du chenal, débit moyen, pente du cours d'eau, pente du lit, sinuosité du fleuve, largeur moyenne

The aims of this paper were to determine how soil properties that affect erodibility vary between slope position and drainage class for a hydrosequence of soils developed in loess deposits of the lower Mississippi River Valley. Soil samples were

This study documents slope and stream power changes in the Lower Mississippi River during the pre-cutoff (1880s-1930s), and post-cutoff (1943-1992) periods. The study reach extends from New Madrid to Natchez, 900 km. The stability status

A classification of the lower Mississippi River into geomorphically distinct reaches provides an effective framework within which the influence of numerous morphologic variables can be analysed. A nonparametric method, Multi-Response Permutation

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.

Sedimentation in Upper Mississippi River (UMR) aquatic habitats known as backwaters has been an issue of concern since the installation of navigation locks and dams in the late 1930s. Four cores were extracted from isolated backwaters in Navigation
