|
| Background research was conducted for a temporary area for the construction of components of the Mississippi River - Gulf Outlet (MROO) new lock in Orleans Parish. This research included a review of historic maps, documents, and aerial photographs. The geomorphic and geologic history of the project area was reviewed, particularly as it pertains to the geoarcheological predictions for the project area. No fieldwork was undertaken. From the available data, it ... |

|
 | Recognizing a need for a comprehensive nationwide research program on the effects of dredged material disposal, Congress authorized and the Corps of Engineers accomplished the Dredged Material Research Program (DMRP). Over 250 individuals studies were conducted between 1973 and 1978 at a cost of $32.8 million. In contrast to previous largely site-specific project investigations, these studies were generic in nature with the intent of developing methods of predicting effects before ... |

|
| Geological effects of the New Madrid earthquake series of 1811-12 in the upper portion of the Lower Mississippi Valley include land subsidence, uplift or doming, landslides, bank caving, fissuring, and sand blow phenomena. Features resulting from the liquefaction of sand are widespread in the alluvial valley and offer the greatest potential for definitively assessing the effects of major earthquakes on thick alluvial deposits and predicting the recurrence interval of infrequent ... |

|
| Considerable information has been published during the past decade supporting the concept of a relatively high sea level during the mid-Wisconsin Farmdalian substage; however, confirming evidence is absent in the voluminous literature on Gulf Coast geology. This paper discusses certain recently recognized evidence in the form of buried weathered horizons and beach trends in the Pontchartrain Basin area of Louisiana and calls attention to additional overlooked and possibly relevant features ... |

|
| Maintenance of navigation in the Nation's waterways requires the annual dredging of more than 400 million cubic yards of estuarine, lacustrine, and riverine sediments. As part of the Corps of Engineers' comprehensive Dredged Material Research Program, various avenues are being explored for productive uses of dredged material, with or without mechanical or chemical treatment. Several studies have been initiated seeking ways to use the fine-grained, low-density, high-water-content, nutrient-rich characteristics as ... |

|
| This paper presents the edited text and prints of slides of a briefing on the status of the Dredged Material Research Program (DMRP). While significant progress is being made in all DMRP project areas, the briefing emphasizes the problem of transferring this information. Another problem concerns public credibility and acceptance. To confront this, the DMRP is concentrating on field studies that demonstrate the productive uses of dredged material and the ... |

The briefing summarizes the operation, organization, management, and funding of the DMRP and highlights the issues of dredging and disposal. Research problems, accomplishments, and objectives are discussed in relation to work units within the four ... |

|
| Scope of Investigations. Initial subsurface explorations in the vicinity of the proposed lock and dam were accomplished between June 1962 and January 1963 and consisted of 58 rotary-drilled borings. In 54 of the borings, samples were obtained at approximately 5-foot depth of intervals by either the auger and drive tube method or the vacuum-type Shelby tube method. Four borings, located along the proposed centerlines of the lock and the dam, ... |

|
| A geologic reconnaissance was made in the Gold Meadows areas of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada Test Site to establish the suitability of the area for the Project PRE-SCHOONER tests. The area is characterized by a large intrusive mass of granitic rock of Cretaceous or Tertiary age surrounded by Cambrian quartzites and Tertiary volcanic tuffs. A series of sites was established in areas that comprise relatively low relief, ... |

|
| The Pontchartrain Basin, a large lowland area included in the Mississippi River deltaic plain, has a history closely related to the postglacial sea level rise and to major shifts in Mississippi River courses. The interpretation of the basin's history and of the evolution of Lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas is based on geomorphological and archaeological evidence. Significant landforms such as beaches and natural levees, both exposed and active as well as ... |
