Shoreline Change Posters of the Louisiana Barrier Islands: 1885-1996

The following are shoreline change posters in PDF format* for the Louisiana barrier islands. These posters are the result of a continuing U.S. Geological Survey study being done in collaboration with the University of New Orleans to map shoreline and wetland change and the measure the effects of major storms, like hurricane Andrew in 1992, along the Louisiana coast. The posters are of low-resolution and each section (text, tables and maps) is linked to the full resolution version of that section. For example, clicking on the text section on the left hand side will open the full-resolution of the text. Note: North in all of the posters is to the top.
