Figure 8. Satellite image of the Colorado River Delta (imagery from NASA Earth Observatory). Light blue and gray areas are all below water, including a large portion of the delta that was formerly subaerial prior to subsidence and coastal erosion. From the center of the image to the Southeast, the dark blue channel that appears to be a river is actually a flooded offshore extension of the former river.
