With sea level rise accelerating and sediment inputs to the coast declining worldwide, there is concern that tidal wetlands will drown. To better understand this concern, sources of …
G Mariotti - Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2018 - Elsevier
A 2D tidal-dispersion model is implemented to simulate the morphodynamics of marsh channels and their response to changes in Sea Level Rise (SLR) rate and sediment supply …
Marsh morphodynamics models are usually calibrated using sparse short-term measurements. Hence, their ability to predict long-term trajectories (centuries to millennia) is …
The recent impacts of tropical cyclones and severe storms on the US Atlantic coast brought into focus the need for extended records of storm activity from different geomorphologic …
EW Sanderson - Northeastern Naturalist, 2016 - BioOne
The apparent stability of urbanized portions of the coast of the northeastern US belies a much longer history of intertwined geomorphological and ecological change. Herein, I …
Land clearing, river impoundments, and other human modifications to the upland landscape and within estuarine systems can drive coastal change at local to regional scales. However …
Wetlands have many ecological and physical properties that are essential for coastal communities. These ecosystems sustain local economies, provide essential habitats, are a …
We thank Priestas et al.(2012) for the opportunity to further consider the evidence for the timing of marsh development in the Plum Island Estuary (Massachusetts, United States), and …
The stability and survival of salt marshes is typically linked to the competing influences of sea-level rise, subsidence, and sediment accumulation and erosion. However …
