Prefrontal Conditions RESULT: Marshward Transport of Sediment (20-30 times/year) Postfrontal Conditions RESULT: Sediment Deposition, Marsh Substrate Accretion, Nutrient Loading Project Results Suggest: Placement of River Diversions in Landward Parts of Interdistributary Basins Will Maximize Sediment Retention Through Landward Suspended Sediment Transport by Cold-Front-Related Processes. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * River Diversions: Geological Boundary Conditions and Other Considerations 河流改道： 地理边界条件与其它因素 Louisiana’s Coastal Land Loss: A Regional Geology Problem Mississippi Delta Land Loss and Gain USGS Crustal Downwarping Compaction-Dewatering of Young Deposits Faulting Decreasing Sediment Supply-Increasing Accommodation Key Geologic Factors in Land Loss Sediment Storage in the System Before Human Intervention Vicksburg Baton Rouge New Madrid Memphis New Orleans Mississippi incised valley The Lower Mississippi River and Delta Glacial-period braided streams within incised valley Holocene valley filling and delta construction Valley fill reflects interactions between climate and sea-level change Post-Glacial Alluvium and Deltaic Sediments = ~60.500 km2 Post-Glacial Alluvium and Deltaic Sediments = ~60.500 km2 Longitudinal Profile of the Lower
