Abstract

A three-dimensional stratigraphic model was constructed of the upper 50 m of the Mississippi River Delta, southeastern USA. The model is used to understand hydrogeological connections among the Mississippi River, adjacent interdistributary bays and groundwater systems, and to understand how stratigraphic settings affect potential anthropically induced subsidence and erosion in the region. This study uses 619 geotechnical borings throughout the area along with the multiple-indicator natural neighbor (MINN) interpolation method to construct the model. Based on available data, the study focused on the Mississippi River reach from Head of Passes (river mouth) to Jesuit Bend (108 km upstream), covering an area of approximately 1,800 km² and ranging in elevation from 3 to −46 m. The model shows typical basal coarse-grained sand bodies overlain by 10-m-thick blanket clay, which is interbedded frequently with silty and sandy sediments and occasionally with peat and organic clay. Sands are most abundant between elevations −10 and −35 m. The Mississippi River main channel incises the underlying sands, thereby providing pathways for river–groundwater exchange. Increased hydrologic loads may propagate along the flow paths potentially giving rise to high pore-water pressure and a resultant increase in land subsidence and thus local erosion of natural and local flood-control levees. This method of analysis may apply to other deltaic regions similarly subject to anthropically accelerated subsidence and erosion.
