TL;DR: Huaca Prieta as discussed by the authors, a large coastal mound settlement in Peru, has been investigated to date back more than 7000 years to a first human exploitation ~13720 BP, and the community of Huaca prieta emerges as innovative, complex and ritualised, with no antecedents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mississippi River channel response to the Bonnet Carre Spillway opening in the 2011 flood and its implications for the design and operation of river diversions
TL;DR: In this paper, boat-based, acoustic and water and bed sampling surveys were conducted in the Mississippi River channel adjacent to the gated Bonnet Carre Spillway immediately prior to the opening of the structure, at full capacity, and immediately following (June 2011) and 1 year after (June 2012) closure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suspension of bed material over sand bars in the Lower Mississippi River and its implications for Mississippi delta environmental restoration
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed field studies in the Mississippi River 75-100 km upstream of the Gulf of Mexico outlet in 2010-2011 to examine sand transport phenomena in the tidally affected river channel over a range of discharges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversion of Mississippi River Water Downstream of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA to Maximize Sediment Capture and Ameliorate Coastal Land Loss
TL;DR: In this article, a boat-based field data and monitoring station data from the tidal reach of the Mississippi River are utilized to examine the sediment capture of large (>1,400 cm) proposed water and sediment diversions from the channel to build and sustain wetlands in the Mississippi delta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modern deposition rates and patterns of organic carbon burial in Fiordland, New Zealand
M. T. Ramirez,Mead A. Allison,Thomas S. Bianchi,Xingqian Cui,Candida Savage,Candida Savage,Susanne E. Schüller,Richard W. Smith,Lael Vetter +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed sedimentary texture, sediment accumulation rate, and organic carbon content to evaluate the relative importance of each delivery mechanism within fjords, and found that sediment accumulation was up to 3.4 mm/yr in proximal and distal areas, with lower rates in medial reaches.
