Physical Parameters, Grain Size, Radiochemistry, and Foraminiferal Data

Figure 6A & B. Locations of sediment push cores collected on Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana from March 2012–July 2013. Island shoreline derived from USGS lidar collected (A) February 2012 (Guy and others, 2014) and (B) September 2012 (Guy and others, 2014) following the passing of Hurricane Isaac on August 28, 2012. Click on individual core locations in either map for a mosaic of oblique photos (Morgan and others, 2013, unpub. data) and data plots from each sampling period.

Downcore bulk density, organic matter, grain size, and radiochemical inventory graphs can be viewed for each of the four sampling periods by clicking the core location on the above map (fig. 6A, B), or they can be downloaded collectively as a zipped Joint Photographic Expert Group (JPEG) file from the table below. Map documents and shapefiles provided in this report were created in ESRI ArcGIS 10.0.2 and can be downloaded from the table below. To open this folder in ESRI ArcGIS, right-click and choose "Save As". The shapefiles provided may also be viewed using other versions of ArcView, ArcGIS, or ArcExplorer software available for download (http://www.esri.com/software/arcexplorer/). Spreadsheets and documents in this report were created in Microsoft Office 2010.  Portable Document Format (PDF) files can be viewed using the free software Adobe Acrobat Reader (http://get.adobe.com/reader).
