Morphodynamic signature of the 1985 hurricane impacts on the northern Gulf of Mexico Morphodynamic signature of the 1985 hurricane impacts on the northern Gulf of Mexico
Three hurricanes hit Lousiana (LA), Mississippi (MS), Alabama (AL), and the Florida (FL) panhandle in 1985, producing dramatic geomorphic changes in a wide variety of coastal environments. The impact zone for hurricanes Danny, Elena, and Juan stretched 1000 km between the Sabine River in LA to the Apalachicola River in FL. Barrier shorelines experienced repeated intense overwash events...

Holocene sand shoals offshore of the Mississippi River delta plain Holocene sand shoals offshore of the Mississippi River delta plain
Offshore of the Mississippi River delta plain lies a series of Holocene sand shoals marking the position of ancient submerged shorelines associated with younger shelf-phase delta plains. These submerged shorelines represent positions when sea level stood lower than present. Short periods of rapid sea level rise during the Holocene transgression, in combination with subsidence, led to the

Transformation of dilative and contractive landslide debris into debris flows-An example from Marin County, California Transformation of dilative and contractive landslide debris into debris flows-An example from Marin County, California
The severe rainstorm of January 3, 4 and 5, 1982, in the San Francisco Bay area, California, produced numerous landslides, many of which transformed into damaging debris flows. The process of transformation was studied in detail at one site where only part of a landslide mobilized into several episodes of debris flow. The focus of our investigation was to learn whether the landslide...

Inner shelf deposits of the Louisiana-Mississippi-Alabama region, Gulf of Mexico Inner shelf deposits of the Louisiana-Mississippi-Alabama region, Gulf of Mexico
The late Quaternary morphology, shallow stratigraphy and sediment distribution of the Louisiana-Mississippi-Alabama inner shelf region are the product of transgressive and regressive sedimentary processes. Shelf sedimentary facies were deposited by deltaic progradation, followed by shoreface erosion and submergence. This information is based on interpretations and synthesis of more than...
