Hurricanes Katrina and Rita showed the vulnerability of coastal communities and how human activities that caused deterioration of the Mississippi Deltaic Plain (MDP) exacerbated this vulnerability. The MDP formed by dynamic interactions between river and coast at various temporal and spatial scales, and human activity has reduced these interactions at all scales. Restoration efforts aim to re-establish this dynamic interaction, with emphasis on reconnecting the river to the deltaic plain…

Mississippi Delta Restoration and Protection: Shifting Baselines, Diminishing Resilience, and Growing Nonsustainability

Restoring and Protecting Coastal Louisiana

A national inability to maintain and upgrade both natural and built infrastructure is reflected in the challenges that the Gulf Coast is facing. Recent storms (2008) and Hurricane Katrina (2005) both…

A geoarchaeological perspective on the challenges and trajectories of Mississippi Delta communities

Marsh Elevation Response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the Effect of Altered Nutrient Regimes

Abstract Our scientific understanding of the marshes along the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana, is limited in terms of the processes required to sustain them and how to best manage them…

Crisis on the Delta : Emerging Trajectories for New Orleans

This thesis explores the relationship between water infrastructure, ecological change, and the politics of planning in New Orleans and the Mississippi River Delta, USA. Complex assemblages of water…

Understanding the Mississippi River Delta as a Coupled Natural-Human System: Research Methods, Challenges, and Prospects

A CNH modeling framework to analyze coastal resilience is described through a case study of the Lower Mississippi River Delta in coastal Louisiana, USA and lessons learned are highlighted, suggesting the path forward for analysis of coupled natural-human systems.

The Impacts of Pulsed Reintroduction of River Water on a Mississippi Delta Coastal Basin

Abstract During the twentieth century about 25% of the wetlands of the Mississippi delta was lost, partially a result of isolation of the river from the delta. River diversions are being implemented…

Gaining Ground: Wetlands, Hurricanes, and the Economy: The Value of Restoring the Mississippi River Delta

A 2010 report by Earth Economics examines the economic value of resotring the Mississippi River Delta through the lens of 11 ecosystem services. The report compares three scenarios for action and…

Mississippi Deltaic Wetland Survival: Sedimentation Versus Coastal Submergence

Seasonal sedimentation, measured with the aid of artificial marker horizons, was markedly different in deteriorating as compared with stable marshes in the Mississippi River deltaic plain, indicating the importance of considering accretion relative to submergence.

Transgressive Depositional Systems of the Mississippi Delta Plain: A Model for Barrier Shoreline and Shelf Sand Development

ABSTRACT Depositional sequences generated in the Mississippi River delta plain consist of a regressive and a transgressive component. The transgressive component has been considerably less studied…
