some of my former investigations into the landscapes of louisiana, specifically the chenier region south of lake charles :
i was looking at the porosity and continual flux along the western side of the louisiana southern coast. this series of geological forms was built through thousands of years of sediment deposition, flowing from the mouth of the mississippi on the southeastern side of the coast and gradually being transported by the wave motion in the gulf. as the cheniers disappear, the interior marshes are exposed to an increase in salinity and potential storm surges.
just another look at the fabric of the landscape.
