Dave Twichell (USGS/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute) the leader of Task 2 and Subtask 2.1, gave a presentation: Holocene Evolution of Northern Gulf Coast Climate Geomorphology and Sea-Level Studies.

Brady Couvillion (IAP World Services/USGS/National Wetlands Research Center) is working on a portion of Subtask 3.3 that involves creating a consistent land cover classification for the entire Northern Gulf Coast study area. He is seen here giving a presentation on how he plans to accomplish this.

Shea Penland (University of New Orleans/Pontchartrain Institute for Environmental Sciences) gives an overview of his plan as leader of Subtask 3.6: Classification of Mississippi Delta Coastal Land Loss from 1932-2001.
John Barras (USGS/National Wetlands Research Center), leader of subtask 3.3, presented his proposal: Multi-Decadal Analysis of Northern Gulf Coast Landscape.

Kathryn Smith (USGS/Florida Integrated Science Center) presented her proposal for Subtask 3.4: Process of Intra-Basin Landscape Change Due to Hurricane Impacts. Slated to begin in FY09, this study is a coupled field survey and modeling investigation of hurricane impacts on coastal wetlands.

Amar Nayegandhi (Jacobs Technology, Inc/USGS) is giving a presentation on Subtask 4.1: Present Day Northern Gulf Coast Landscape Structure. Amar will also be working in conjunction with C. Wayne Wright, NASA, on Subtask 4.2: Definition of High Resolution (Lidar) Northern Gulf Coast Geomorphology.
