The Mississippi River Delta and coastal Louisiana are disappearing at an astonishing rate: a football field of wetlands vanishes into open water every 100 minutes. Since the 1930s, Louisiana has lost over 2,000 square miles of land, an area roughly the size of Delaware.
1 Ιαν 2021 · A major national and state objective has become the restoration of the Mississippi River Delta that is threatened by subsidence, flooding, storm surges, compaction, oil extraction and gas...
3 Μαΐ 2024 · We analyze the evolution of the delta system and identify dominant drivers for both subaerial and subaqueous delta erosion after the delta lost its fluvial sediment supply due to river avulsion. We show that the cessation of river sediment supply in 1855 led to rapid erosion of the delta.
1 Μαρ 2023 · The Mississippi River delta suffered large-scale land loss during the 20th century and is representative of a global-scale phenomenon where low-elevation deltaic coasts are increasingly at risk from sea-level rise and disruption of the sediment-dispersal system.
20 Σεπ 2023 · Managing sediment and erosion in the Mississippi River Basin continues to be a complex challenge with ramifications for navigation, flood risk, water quality, and ecosystem health. Future strategies must balance these diverse needs, adapting to changes in land use, water management, and climate patterns.
28 Ιουν 2009 · Global-scale human impact on delta morphology has led to net land area gain. Long-term sediment decline causes ongoing shrinkage of the Mekong megadelta, Vietnam. Main. During the last glacial...
