In March of 2010, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted geophysical surveys offshore of Petit Bois Island, Mississippi, and Dauphin Island, Alabama. These efforts were part of the U.S. Geological Survey Gulf of Mexico Science Coordination partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to assist the Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program (MsCIP) and the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) Ecosystem Change and Hazards Susceptibility Project by mapping the shallow geologic stratigraphic framework of the Mississippi Barrier Island Complex.

2010年3月，美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey, USGS）在美国密西西比州珀蒂布瓦岛与阿拉巴马州多芬岛近海开展地球物理勘探工作。本次工作属于美国地质调查局与美国陆军工程兵团（U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USACE）共建的墨西哥湾科学协作项目范畴，旨在通过绘制密西西比障壁岛群的浅层地质地层框架，为密西西比海岸改善计划（Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program, MsCIP）以及墨西哥湾北部生态系统变化与灾害易感性项目（Northern Gulf of Mexico, NGOM）提供辅助支持。
