Thank you very much..answered questions I didn’t even know how to pose or phrase lol!! Hopefully you’re keeping up this great work, as this is the first video suggested (in response to my search) and it’s very good!
Another excellent video, concise, educational, and informative. Thanks! BTW, that black shirt is soooo nerdy, and the whiteboard behind is soooo hilarious. :D
This is great information. I have always been fascinated by river borders, and how they change over time. I grew up near Bayou Teche, and it always amazed me, that at one time in the past...the Mississippi flowed through that exact spot. In fact...I am pretty sure, that the land area, I lived on, (in Cecilia/Henderson area), was actually covered by the river, for many years in the past. All very fascinating. Thanks for your videos...they are quite interesting, and informative.
Same as message below, I was watching a video on Mississippi rivers strategic value to New Orleans. And a series of river controlled sections were created to prevent the flow going into the adjecent river, as i searched "change the flow of the mississipi river" and found myself here. Cheers for the presentation, ridge and swell topography was interesting. As where I live in New Zealand. Im in Wanganui at the mouth of New Zealands 2nd longest river, and was the only access to the central lower North Island. Like a 50th the scale of Central North America, lol.
This is fascinating! I knew the basics about the ancient deltas, but I definitely learned a lot. I’m from lower Bayou Lafourche. We’re sadly losing our land to coastal erosion, natural and man-made disasters, and climate change at an alarming rate here in the lower Lafourche basin.
The delta first started forming up by New Madrid, Missouri at the end of the Mississippi Ebayment. That was a basin that became flooded with sea water after rifting forced South America away from North America. Myron Cook's YT channel has three great videos about that and how sediments formed most of Texas and Louisiana.
Mr. Klein, really enjoying this series! If you’re looking for ideas on future videos related to these, I’d be very interested to hear more about the history of usage of the river - specifically on canals and bayous that are no longer used nor accessible. I grew up in Paulina and now live in Laplace, so I’ve heard a lot of stories about how canals were once used around here for trade and transport. Some of the claims see a little outlandish or seem a little strange. For example I heard that the area just east of LaPlace, where the Bonnet Carre sits today, was once used to move cattle from the Gulf of Mexico, via Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne, in order to avoid sailing up stream through the lower main channel of the Mississippi. I’m also curious about some of the huge bayous that are just stagnated now, like Bayou Lafourche. Was that ever used for transportation or trade in any meaningful way? Keep up the awesome work!
A year late, but I can answer your question about Bayou Lafourche. Yes, the bayou was used to transport goods to and from the area to New Orleans. Most notably, the pirate Jean Lafitte used bayou Lafourche and other then distributaries to transport his ill gotten gains to the city from his hideout on Grand Terre island (directly east of Grand Isle).
@@kylethecatholic Thats pretty cool tho, I dont know of many real life pirates as I watch One Piece. A anime on pirates, I find the irony of reading a comment on a video. Searched for changes in the rivers path, from a video on new Orleans strategic yet terrible placement saying that the rivers change in flow was intervened with by engineers. From a channel on geography that was on my Tube Timeline. Cool, theres even a painting of Jean Lafitte, fearsome looking fella lol.
Ref 4:59, old relatives told me that on clear days you could see the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain from the south shore. Air pollution, not the curve of the Earth. Its only 20 miles.
With google earth using seabed data to create offshore regions you can actually see the mississippi sediment deposits from birdfoot delta on the seabed, those large pancake like structures around Dorsey Canyon are just 600 years of sediment.
You might consider doing a video on how much the land has subsided in the New Orleans area because of the building of levees along the Mississippi River and also the draining and development of the organic rich swamplands surrounding New Orleans with levees, canals and pumps. In the late 1950's the ground near the drainage canal in my neighborhood started burning because the water table had been lowed by the digging of the canals and the dried out organic soil started composting and smoking. This was near Kenner and it happened again in the early 1970's in New Orleans East. As the soil continued to compost, the land sank further. Today it's called rising sea levels. Another video you might consider making is one about the Lakefront Seawall in New Orleans. It effectively completed the bowl around New Orleans that holds water inside the city when the levees fail.
If you want your mind blown, go follow the current and ancient paths of the Columbia and its major tributaries, the Snake, Salmon, Yakima, Spokane etc. Hint- You can go up on top of mountains and find river run oval polished sorted via wave physics (heaviest stuff drops off on the inside of a bend in layers sorted by density/surface area) gravel with minerals from 500+ miles away with only one source, which proves what river basin it was.
Made it 15 seconds into the video, and welll, ugh, ha ha, I'd rather be dragged through a field of glass and thrown in a pool of lemonade than to hear this guy's voice.
i was randomly looking at the missippi river on snapchat maps and now i find myself here seeing how it was formed lol, dope video keep it up :)
Glad that I stumbled onto this. Looking forward to watching the rest of the series.
This is my favorite hydrologic channel....
Audio issues at about 6:50 but very interesting!

Thanks Mr.Klein, I've used your explanations along with Saucier in my uni presentation on the Mississippi River. Very well made

Thanks for putting these together. My interest is why I ended up here.

This is why it is nearly impossible, to get quality well water south of the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain.
Good stuff - thx for these videos
Wow this is amazing! I love your work!
Very informative, thank you!
Interesting! Keep it up teach!
Awesome explanation!

“Take that, flat earthers!” 😂😂😂
Could you do the Arkansas river valley? Headwaters to Mississippi river?

Hey Loren! Love your videos. Was it a conscious decision by the army corp of engineers to route sediment towards TX out of the mississippi delta?

it's a great series... thnx
fun to ear some "french" words lol
Geez. give me a telescope
I wanted to know how and you explained it boom that simple. Thank you very much for being informative and not boring (love your flat earthier jab)
"Take that, flat earthers." Nice.

Take that flat earthers
All they need to do is reopen the spillways permanently
The north shore is not over the horizon, it is just further than one’s eye can see!!! Take that globist
Then along came man and screwed it all up
4:58 Anyone offended by this? 😅😂
Nice socks
Made it 15 seconds into the video, and welll, ugh, ha ha, I'd rather be dragged through a field of glass and thrown in a pool of lemonade than to hear this guy's voice.
I am lost. Sorry.
There is a fault there !
I’m surprised you didn’t include more BS like one side of the bridge is 3inches long to compensate for the curve lol
Get on testerone my man. U will appreciate it.
This guy's voice is really distracting.
