Description

1. iv, 81 pages : illustrations (some color), maps (some color); 29 cm.

Summary

1. "The Western Louisiana and Texas coast is vulnerable to sea-level rise due to low gradients, high subsidence, and depleted sediment supply. This Memoir describes the response of coastal environments to variable rates of sea-level rise and sediment supply during Holocene to modern time. This volume is a wake-up call about the potential magnitude of coastal change over decadal to centennial time scales"--
