The Campaign
The Delta Exchange (Delta-X) was a 5-year campaign focusing on environmental changes in the Mississippi River Delta. Delta-X had two deployments during the boreal spring and summer of 2021. Airborne imagery and sediment samples of the surrounding wetlands were taken to determine what parts of the Mississippi River Delta will survive due to rising sea levels. Several “Pre-Delta-X” deployments were conducted in 2015 and 2016 and validation activities occurred in 2022. Delta-X is one of NASA's EVS-3 projects.
