Breaching the levee of a channel on the Mississippi Fan Breaching the levee of a channel on the Mississippi Fan
GLORIA images of the youngest channel on the Mississippi Fan indicate that it has not been a stable feature, but instead has shifted its course several times. A detailed study of a site of channel shifting found a complex stratigraphy that resulted from one episode of channel avulsion. The channel avulsion appears to have been initiated by a large mass flow that choked the channel below...

Commercial Fisheries Surveys Commercial Fisheries Surveys
In this chapter, we describe methods for sampling commercial fisheries and identify factors affecting the design of sampling plans. When sampled properly, commercial fisheries can provide important information on the response of aquatic organisms to exploitation; such information can be used by management agencies to develop regulations for ensuring long-term production of the resource...
