Louisiana Coastal Neotectonics and Subsidence Expert Panel
The Challenge
The Water Institute of the Gulf assembled an expert panel composed of recognized experts in the fields of neotectonics/subsidence and geomorphic/sedimentary response in the Louisiana coastal region.
The Approach
of fostering open discussion of neotectonics and coastal restoration at the planning time scale.
The panel - Chair Elizabeth Hajek, Penn State University; John Anderson, Rice University; David Mohrig, University of Texas at Austin - provided a forum for the discussion of neotectonics and its potential impacts on management of coastal natural resources.
