Item Sedimentation and historical changes in fluvial-deltaic wetlands along the Texas Gulf Coast with emphasis on the Colorado and Trinity River deltas(University of Texas at Austin, Bureau of Economic Geology, 1990) White, William A., and Thomas R. Calnan; Bureau of Economic GeologyThe objective of this study was to determine from published and unpublished researches the effects of brine effluents on marine organisms, and on the natural ecological balance in estuarial waters, and included a literature search of papers on sessile, benthic, pelagic, and planktonic organisms from the standpoint of the effect of oils and waste brines.Item Sedimentation in fluvial-deltaic wetlands and estuarine areas Texas Gulf coast. Literature Synthesis.(University of Texas at Austin, Bureau of Economic Geology, 1990) White, William A., and Thomas R. Calnan;Deltaic and associated alluvial areas at the mouths of rivers that discharge into the bay-estuary-lagoon system along the Texas coast are the sites of extensive salt-, brackish-, and fresh-water marshes that are essential components of these biologically productive estuarine systems. These bayhead depositional systems are constructed primarily by fluvial sediments, sediments transported and deposited by the major rivers that enter estuarine waters. The loss of over 10,000 acres of wetlands in alluvial and deltaic areas of the Neches (White and others, 1987) and San Jacinto Rivers (White and others, 1985) has emphasized the need to examine in more detail the processes that establish and maintain, as well as degrade, these important natural resources along the Texas coast.Item Sedimentation in fluvial-deltaic wetlands and estuarine areas Texas Gulf coast. Summary.(University of Texas at Austin, Bureau of Economic Geology, 1990) White, William A., and Thomas R. Calnan;Deltaic and associated riverine deposits near the mouths of rivers that discharge into estuaries along the Texas coast are the sites of extensive salt-, brackish-, and fresh-water marshes that are essential components of biologically productive estuarine systems. These bay-head depositional features are constructed primarily by fluvial sediments, sediments transported and deposited by the major rivers that enter estuarine waters. The loss of over 10,000 acres of wetlands in alluvial and deltaic areas of the Neches (White and others, 1987) and San Jacinto Rivers (White and others, 1985) emphasized the need to examine in more detail the processes that establish and maintain, as well as degrade, these important natural resources along the Texas coast.
