The Mississippi delta region of south Louisiana houses a wealth of resources within a
dynamic, subsiding landscape. Foundations for the delta region reflect Neogene evolution of …

Oil and gas (O&G) activity has been pervasive in the Mississippi River Delta (MRD). Here we
review the life cycle of O&G fields in the MRD focusing on the production history and …

Coastal subsidence causes sea-level rise, shoreline erosion and wetland loss, which poses
a threat to coastal populations. This is especially evident in the Mississippi Delta in the …

Subsidence is leading to the slow inundation of communities and wetlands of Louisiana,
Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama (United States) by the Gulf of Mexico. The prevailing …

Relative contributions of geologic and anthropogenic processes to subsidence of southern
Louisiana are vigorously debated. Of these, shallow sediment compaction is often …

Natural sediment compaction in deltaic plains influences subsidence rates and the evolution
of deltaic morphology. Determining compaction rates requires detailed knowledge of …

Abstract The Nile Delta is a subsiding sedimentary basin that hosts∼ 66% of Egypt's
population and 60% of the country's food production. Projected sea-level-rise scenarios for …

Geodetic leveling observations from Biloxi, MS, to New Orleans, LA, and water level gauge
measurements in the New Orleans–Lake Pontchartrain area were analyzed to infer late 20th …

Tidal freshwater wetlands (TFW) have developed in a gradually yet constantly changing
environment, but current and predicted future rates of environmental change, driven in large …

During the last glacial period, when sea level was low, meltwater discharge drove incision of
the lower Mississippi valley, with valley filling and delta construction during Holocene sea …
