USGS scientists study sediment deposited by 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami USGS scientists study sediment deposited by 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami
In January, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists traveled to countries on the Indian Ocean to study sediment deposited by the devastating tsunami of December 26, 2004. They hope to gain knowledge that will help them to identify ancient tsunami deposits in the geologic record—which extends much farther into the past than written records—and so compile a history of tsunamis that can be...
Geologic framework, evolution, and sediment resources for restoration of the Louisiana Coastal Zone Geologic framework, evolution, and sediment resources for restoration of the Louisiana Coastal Zone
The Louisiana Coastal Zone along the north-central Gulf of Mexico represents one of America's most important coastal ecosystems in terms of natural resources, human infrastructure, and cultural heritage. This zone also has the highest rates of coastal erosion and wetland loss in the nation because of a complex combination of natural processes and anthropogenic activities during the past...

Toward predicting barrier island vulnerability: Simple models for dune erosion Toward predicting barrier island vulnerability: Simple models for dune erosion
The objective of this study is to quantify the accuracy of two engineering models for dune erosion (SBEACH and EDUNE), and to determine which of the two models is best suited for predicting barrier island vulnerability due to extreme storm events. The first model, SBEACH, computes sediment transport using empirically derived equations from two large wave tank experiments. The second...

Water-quality assessment of Lake Houston near Houston, Texas, 2000-2004 Water-quality assessment of Lake Houston near Houston, Texas, 2000-2004
Lake Houston is a major source of public water supply and recreational resource for the Houston metropolitan area, Texas. Water-quality issues of potential concern for the lake have included nutrient enrichment (orthophosphorus, total phosphorus, nitrite plus nitrate) and aquatic life use (dissolved oxygen). The , in cooperation with the City of Houston, collected water samples from...
