Talk:Mississippi River Delta

message: Reason for request: "delta (delta)" doesn't make much sense; the majority of google hits for "Mississippi River Delta" discuss the triangular landform; other river deltas are named "X River Delta"; there were preexisting links pointing to the new name, most of which meant the triangular landform.  The reason an automatic rename couldn't be performed is that the new page originally redirected to Mississippi Delta, but that page has since been disambiguated into this one for the reasons stated above.  --Interiot 20:33, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Requested move

message: I don't want to edit this article without being sure, but isn't the Atchafalaya River mouth roughly 60 miles Southwest, or at least West-Southwest of New Orleans, and not northwest, as the article states?  Thanks.
:I think they meant to discuss where the Atchafalaya River branches off from the Mississippi River, not Atchafalaya's mouth.  Updated to reflect that.  -20:17, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Atchafalaya River mouth northwest of New Orleans? 

message: A new study concludes that much of the delta will be drowned by 2100 no matter what is done.
They calculate that the current sediment load is insufficient to compensate for the rate of sea level rise.  
  
According to Torbjörn Törnqvist, a coastal geoscientist at Tulane University in New Orleans, “This is an outstanding study,” and that "the estimates for future subsidence and sea-level rise used by Roberts and Blum are conservative."           174.39.148.112 (talk) 15:05, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The text under geological development, the image of delta lobes and the image of coastal development don't appear to be consistent with each other. Lavateraguy (talk) 10:06, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Consistency 

message: One of the graphics shows several distinct periods of the river delta, with times given as 'years BP'.  There is no information on what 'BP' refers to. Is that a common geological term? Either way, it should be explained and/or linked to.Sejtam (talk) 03:30, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

message: According to  the Mississippi Delta marshland is doomed: Sediment influx can cope with a rise of relative sea level of 3 mm per year. But today we are far above. It might be helpful if an English native speaker (I’m not) added this information.  — Wassermaus (talk) 10:57, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
