1	Mineralogic Study of Sediments from Nearshore Cat Island, Mississippi Barnhart, Laura Belle 10 May 2003 (has links) Cat Island, Mississippi, the westernmost barrier island in Mississippi Sound, demarcates the northeastern extent of the St. Bernard subdelta of the Mississippi River. The unusual ?T? shape of Cat Island is likely the result of reworking of the original shore-parallel island by westward longshore currents post-abandonment of the St. Bernard Delta. XRD analyses performed on Vibracore samples collected from nearshore Cat Island showed quartz sands were common regardless of depth or location. Clays predominated in sediments at depth near the southern tip of the island but were minor in more surficial sediments. Lithologically, surficial sediments from the south and west were quite similar, particularly the decrease in illite/smectite (I/S) abundance, which may reflect westerly reworking of in situ sediments. Analyses indicate this reworking is more effective in changing local lithology than sediment provenance. Cat Island barrier island

3	Configuration of the Pleistocene Surface Beneath Cat Island, Mississippi and Implications for Barrier Island Formation and Evolution Rose, Kathryn 17 December 2010 (has links) 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 sedimentation and local sediment supply. Investigation of barriers' subsurface geology provides insight into island formation and evolution. High-resolution shallow seismic data acquired in the island's nearshore zone and interior canals, correlated with existing drillcore data, reveal that Cat Island, MS is situated over an Oxygen Isotope Stage 3 Phase 3 paleochannel located between two topographic high-grounds of the Pleistocene surface. Beach ridge strandplain sets on Cat Island provide additional evidence supporting the island's formation over a relict depocenter. A new, 4-stage model for Cat Island development and evolution incorporating the influence of pre-existing topographic high-grounds and abundant local sediment supply provided by a backfilling fluvial channel is presented here.
