Summary[edit]

Description

A field crew from NOS’ National Geodetic Survey conducted a GPS survey of Surface Elevation Tables throughout Southeastern Louisiana, in cooperation with the University of New Orleans, the U.S Geological Survey, and the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources. This project site is at Old Oyster Bayou, in the wetlands of the Mississippi Delta only a few kilometers from the Gulf of Mexico. Studies conducted by NOAA partners using SETs are providing critical data on elevation changes within these wetlands. The GPS survey methodology being developed by NGS is enabling these elevation trends to be related to local land elevations and water levels for the first time, providing researchers a better understanding of processes leading to land loss, and providing managers a way to evaluate the risk of coastal submergence.
