11/11/2023 0 Comments Geology abandoned meanderBased on analysis and age dating of four sediment cores, we show that the channel was active since 2.6 ka and was abandoned at 0.7 ka as marked by the abrupt disappearance of the sand fraction and increase in organic matter and sediment accumulation rate. There is concern that paved surfaces and increased groundwater pumping will threaten the spring and the wetland.The Ba Lai distributary channel of the Mekong River Delta was abandoned and infilled with sediment during the Late Holocene, providing a unique opportunity to investigate the sediment fill, timing and mechanisms of channel abandonment in tide-dominated deltaic systems. The marsh is being surrounded on all sides by housing developments. A spring emerges from a group of trees at the base of Frederick's Hill and flows south through the marsh to Lake Mendota.
