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
River deltas are dynamic depositional environments that are controlled to varying degrees by coastal and fluvial forces. Plant communities in deltas respond to many of the same allogenic forces that shape delta geomorphology. This study examines the factors that influence plant community …

Linking nitrogen biogeochemistry to different stages of wetland soil development in the Mississippi River Delta, Louisiana
… occur across the Mississippi River delta and include newly emergent landscapes, in the early stages of ecological succession, and older landscape formations, with fully developed ecological communities. Here I tested how the anthropogenic effects of a climate-induced vegetation …

River bifurcations: key processes, timescales and evolutionary trajectories
… the dynamics of bifurcations is relevant, river deltas are of particular interest from both a geomorphological and coastal management viewpoints. Interestingly, available relations for sediment division at bifurcations mostly concern bedload transport, while within deltas most of the sediments …
