Effect of local variability in erosional resistance on large‐scale morphodynamic response of salt marshes to wind waves and extreme events
N Leonardi, S Fagherazzi - Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We use field data and a cellular automata model to investigate salt marsh response to wave
action under different wave energy conditions and frequency of extreme events. Our results …
