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）于密西西比州小布瓦岛（Petit Bois Island）近海及阿拉巴马州多芬岛（Dauphin Island）海域开展地球物理勘测工作。本次工作系美国地质调查局与美国陆军工程兵团（U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USACE）联合开展的墨西哥湾科学协作项目的组成部分，旨在通过绘制密西西比障壁岛群（Mississippi Barrier Island Complex）的浅部地质地层框架，为密西西比海岸改善计划（Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program, MsCIP）与墨西哥湾北部（Northern Gulf of Mexico, NGOM）生态系统变化及灾害敏感性项目提供技术支撑。
