| Abstract: | Lake Pontchartrain, the largest estuary in southern Louisiana, is an important recreational, commercial, and environmental resource for New Orleans and southeastern Louisiana. This publication is part of a 5-year, cooperative program led by the USGS on the geological framework and sedimentary processes of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin. This presentation is divided into two main parts. The scientifc sections include historical information on the area; shipboard, field, and remote-sensing studies; and a comprehensive sediment database with geological and chemical discussions of the region. The multimedia and resources sections include geographic information system (GIS) tools and data, a video demonstrating vibracore sampling techniques in Lake Pontchartrain, and abstracts from four Basics of the Basin symposia. |
