| Abstract: | Nearly 4 weeks after Hurricane Katrina passed through St. Bernard Parish, the U.S. Geological Survey‘s (USGS) Mid-Continent Geographic Science Center and the University of Missouri-Rolla‘s (UMR) Natural Hazard Mitigation Institute deployed a team of scientists to the region to collect perishable environmental and engineering data. The team collected 149 samples throughout the affected area to chemically characterize the Katrina depositional sediments. Preliminary results of this effort are presented here. |
