Title: Photogeology in Louisiana Coastal Marsh and Swamp: ABSTRACT

Author(s): Charles DeBlieux

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

Local structural movement is a presently continuing phenomenon and there is abundant indisputable evidence in regional basins throughout the world that these movements are occurring in the geologic present.

The geologically young marsh and swamp that comprise the alluvial plain of south Louisana provide a sensitive geomorphic norm on which surface indications of structural uplift appear in sharp contrasts. Photogeologic anomalies are identified by subtle physiographic deviations from this normal.

Principal criteria for anomaly recognition are defined, reviewed, and illustrated.
