#116 - Interesting comparison of Louisiana shore-line between the years 1932 & 2011

We saw this picture recently prepared by NOAA. Here's a link to the story.

The water isn’t lapping up at everyone’s doorstep. But that does not appear to mean that the levels aren’t rising.




Reduction of wetlands though development or through submersion no doubt further exacerbates these kinds of situations by removing the natural defenses. What will this shoreline look like in another 80years? Or perhaps a better question is: how far north will the shoreline be by then?

Louisiana is on our minds lately because Tenova HYL and Nova are involved in a couple of gas analysis projects there. Here are some pictures of one of those projects.
