Abstract:
The mapped Pleistocene distributary courses extend for several tens of miles across the Prairie surface and exert considerable influence on present day drainage. Since these channels are leveed a large percentage of the area of the present day drainage basins are bounded by these levees. Minor present day drainage occurs within the relic leveed channels. Of particular interest are the courses which extend through Lafayette, Louisiana, some of which might be modified to conduct more runoff than they do away from developing areas experiencing drainage problems.
We will present our images and interpretations in dual projector 3-D with glasses supplied for the audience.
