This is a map of the Mississippi River delta in the Gulf of Mexico. I first saw a photo of the delta in Geography 101 with Professor Orme in Spring 2009, and was blown away with the image. The red and orange colors represent vegetation on the land and the light blue is suspended sediment. this is the image that got me interested in GIS and Remote Sensing.
