Mineral content, bulk density, and beryllium-7 activity of wetland soils of the Davis Pond Freshwater Diversion Outfall Area, Louisiana, in 2015
February 20, 2019
These data provide information regarding beryllium-7 radioisotope activity, bulk density, and percent organic matter for wetland soils in the immediate outfall region of an operational Mississippi River diversion. From them, information relating to short-term mineral sediment mass accumulation rates and sediment retention rates in the receiving basin can be inferred.

Hydrodynamic controls on sediment retention in an emerging diversion-fed delta
The morphodynamics of river-dominated deltas are largely controlled by the supply and retention of sediment within deltaic wetlands and the rate of relative sea-level rise. Yet, sediment budgets for deltas are often poorly constrained. In the Mississippi River Delta, a system rapidly losing land due to natural and anthropogenic causes, restoration efforts seek to build new land through the use of
