The influence of Hurricane Andrew on sediment distribution in Louisiana coastal marshes The influence of Hurricane Andrew on sediment distribution in Louisiana coastal marshes
The areal extent and temporal patterns of sediment deposition in delta marshes and shallow water bodies of Louisiana associated with the passage of Hurricane Andrew were determined from sediment traps, marker horizons, and benchmarks deployed for other studies. Data were collected over different time scales from 11 sites representing salt, brackish, and intermediate marshes, shallow...

Disturbance and recovery of the Louisiana coastal marsh landscape from the impacts of Hurricane Andrew Disturbance and recovery of the Louisiana coastal marsh landscape from the impacts of Hurricane Andrew
The impact of Hurricane Andrew on the Louisiana coastal landscape and the initial recovery of wetland plant communities was determined from extensive surveys of a large geographic region of coastal marsh near Atchafalaya Bay and intensive studies of an oligohaline marsh on Otter Bayou. Wind and water movements associated with the hurricane resulted in the formation of compressed marsh...
