Assessing Hydrologic Connectivity using Water Temperature, Wax Lake Delta, Louisiana
… channel and interdistributary island on the Wax Lake Delta of coastal Louisiana. We deployed a relatively inexpensive, open-source data logging platform to collect high quality continuous water temperature, water depth, air temperature, and shortwave solar radiation from a portion of Wax Lake …

Numerical Simulation of Cold Front-Related Hydrodynamics of Wax Lake Delta
… model ECOM-si to simulate the circulation in the Wax Lake delta under winter cold front conditions. This model uses real topography and bathymetry of the area to reproduce tides and the circulation between December 2012 and January 2013, which captures a total of seven cold front passages. The …

Spatial structure and dynamics of the plant communities in a pro-grading river delta : Wax Lake Delta, Atchafalaya Bay, Louisiana
… productivity, and species distributions in the Wax Lake delta, a young, actively pro-grading river delta in coastal Louisiana, USA. A species distribution map created using high-resolution 8-band WorldView-2 imagery was found to have an overall accuracy of 75 percent. Classification tree …

Hydrodynamic and sediment transport modeling of deltaic sediment processes
… Five adverse natural slopes observed in the Wax Lake Outlet delta were compared with the model-suggested slopes. Adverse slopes at the Wax Lake Outlet delta varied from 1V to 340H – 850H, with 1V to 543H as the average. Finally, a calibrated model of the Atchafalaya River and the delta was …

Nitrogen and Carbon Export to the Gulf of Mexico by the Atchafalaya River, a Major Distributary of the Mississippi River
… input- (Simmesport) and outlets (Morgan City and Wax Lake) and on the MR at Baton Rouge. Water samples were also collected weekly during the 2011 major MR spring flood (May to July) and analyzed for nitrate isotopes and concentrations. AR outflow had significantly, but only slightly lower mean …

Linking nitrogen biogeochemistry to different stages of wetland soil development in the Mississippi River Delta, Louisiana
… uptake. In the actively regressing Wax Lake delta (WLD), soil nutrient chemistry exhibited patterns characteristic of primary substrate development; total nitrogen and organic matter increased, while total phosphorus remained relatively constant. Under ambient nitrate concentrations …

Stratigraphic architecture of a shallow-water delta deposited in a coastal-plain setting: Neslen Formation, Floy Canyon, Utah
… similar water depths (such as the Okavango and Wax Lake deltas). When compared to a relatively deeper-water delta, such as the delta documented by Matthew Andresen in the Iles Formation, the lithofacies trends and stacking patterns are different. For example, the shallow-water delta (Neslen …

Unifying multi-source data and modeling perspectives to investigate connectivity and material transport in coastal river deltas
… extract the channel and wetland network of the Wax Lake and Atchafalaya Delta system, and developed an image processing workflow to spatially refine an ANUGA hydrodynamic model mesh using this information. We find that our methodology can reduce model computational demand by ≈ 30% without any …

River bifurcations: key processes, timescales and evolutionary trajectories
… at several bifurcations belonging to the Wax Lake Delta (US) is performed, by means of a Lagrangian particle tracking model and a 2D numerical hydrodynamic model. First, sediment particles are routed on previously calibrated hydrodynamic simulations performed for the whole delta. The …
