Archive of Boomer and Chirp Seismic Reflection Data Collected During USGS Cruise 01RCE02, Southern Louisiana, April and May 2001
In April and May of 2001, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a geophysical study of the Mississippi River Delta, Atchafalaya River Delta, and Shell Island Pass in southern Louisiana. This study was part of a larger USGS River Contaminant Evaluation (RCE) Project. This disc serves as an archive of unprocessed digital seismic reflection data,...
Calderon, Karynna; Dadisman, Shawn V.; Flocks, James G.; Wiese, Dana S. Archive of boomer seismic reflection data collected during USGS field activities 01ASR01, 01ASR02, 02ASR01, 02ASR02, Miami, Florida, November 2001-January 2002
This appendix consists of two-dimensional marine seismic reflection profile data collected in canals in the Lake Belt Area of Miami, Florida. These data were acquired in November and December of 2001 and January and February of 2002 using a 4.9-m (16-ft) jonboat. The data are available in a variety of formats, including...

Sand resources, regional geology, and coastal processes for shoreline restoration: case study of Barataria shoreline, Louisiana
The Louisiana barrier shoreline of Barataria Basin, which lies within the western Mississippi River delta, has undergone significant retreat during the past 100 years. The most practical restoration method to rebuild these shorelines is sand nourishment. Seismic and sonar interpretations verified with geologic samples (vibracores and borings)...
Kindinger, Jack G.; Flocks, James G.; Kulp, Mark; Penland, Shea; Britsch, Louis D. Sediment-hosted contaminants and distribution patterns in the Mississippi and Atchafalaya River Deltas
The Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers transport very large amounts of bedload and suspended sediments to the deltaic and coastal environments of the northern Gulf of Mexico. Absorbed onto these sediments are contaminants that may be detrimental to the environment. To adequately assess the impact of these contaminants it is first necessary to...

Geologic controls on the formation of Florida sinkhole lakes
Kindinger, Jack G.; Flocks, James G. Climatic-eustatic control of Holocene nearshore parasequence development, southeastern Texas coast
Sediment cores, seismic profiles, radiocarbon dates, and faunal assemblages were used to interpret the depositional setting and geological evolution of the southeastern Texas coast during the last glacio-eustatic cycle. Discrete lithofacies and biofacies zones in the ebb-dominated Sabine Lake estuary and adjacent chenier plain record alternating...
Morton, Robert A.; Kindinger, Jack G.; Flocks, James G.; Stewart, Laura B. Geologic controls on the formation of lakes in north-central Florida
Fluid exchange between surficial waters and groundwater, as well as the processes that control this exchange, are of critical concern to water management districts and planners. Digital high-resolution seismic systems were used to collect geophysical data from 30 lakes of north-central Florida. Although using seismic profile data in the past has...
Pitman, Janet K.; Carroll, Alan R.; Kindinger, Jack G.; Davis, Jeffrey B.; Flocks, James G. Seismic stratigraphy of the central Indian River region
Kindinger, Jack G.; Davis, Jeffrey B.; Flocks, James G. High-resolution single-channel seismic reflection surveys of Orange Lake and other selected sites of north central Florida
The potential fluid exchange between lakes of north central Florida and the Floridan aquifer and the process by which exchange occurs is of critical concern to the St. Johns Water Management District. High-resolution seismic tools with relatively new digital technology were utilized in collecting geophysical data from Orange, Kingsley, Lowry and...
Kindinger, Jack G.; Davis, Jeffrey B.; Flocks, James G. Stratigraphy of the Mississippi-Alabama shelf and the Mobile River incised-valley system
The Mobile River incised-valley system located in the northern Gulf of Mexico occupies an area from southern Alabama through Mobile Bay to the outer Mississippi-Alabama continental shelf. During the Wisconsinan regression, this incised-valley system was fluvially eroded and extended across the exposed shelf to a shelf-margin delta complex. The...
