Dylan Blaskey’s Research Showcase: Rebuilding Coastal Marshes Will Impact Native American Communities
Southern Louisiana’s coastal marshes have collapsed over the last century and now the State is working to rebuild them. This land where current coastal wetlands sit was created around 4000 years ago by the prograding Mississippi River delta. Historically, annual floods overtopped the banks of the river and delivered sediment-laden freshwater to the surrounding area. … Continue reading Dylan Blaskey’s Research Showcase: Rebuilding Coastal Marshes Will Impact Native American Communities
