1930-1956 SW Shift of Brazos Delta Sediments
Following the 1929 diversion of the lower Brazos, the old delta sediments were eroded and transported several miles SW by longshore currents to the new mouth of the Brazos, Less than 30 years later, the old Brazos delta had retreated by nearly 1 mile and the new delta had stepped out into the Gulf by more than 1 mile.
