Configuration of the Pleistocene Surface Beneath Cat Island, Mississippi and Implications for Barrier Island Formation and Evolution

The mechanism of Holocene barrier formation aids in determining island geomorphologic responses to modifying climatic processes of the surrounding environment. The geometry and composition of local antecedent topography plays a role in barrier formation by providing an elevated base, nucleus for sed...
