deterioration is controlled by scarcity of sediments, erosion and accelerated rise of relative …

Long-term sea level rise modeling of a basin-tidal inlet system reveals sediment sinks

KC Hanegan, DM FitzGerald, IY Georgiou… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Much of the world's population lives close to coastlines and this proximity is becoming
increasingly impactful because of sea-level rise (SLR). Barrier islands and backbarrier …

Hydrodynamic feedbacks of salt‐marsh loss in the shallow microtidal back‐barrier lagoon of Venice (Italy)

A Finotello, D Tognin, L Carniello… - Water Resources …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Extensive loss of salt marshes in back‐barrier tidal embayments is ongoing worldwide as a
consequence of land‐use changes, wave‐driven lateral marsh erosion, and relative sea …

Vegetation reconfigures barrier coasts and affects tidal basin infilling under sea level rise

M Boechat Albernaz, MZM Brückner… - Journal of …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Worldwide, many tidal basins associated with barrier coasts have infilled over the past
millennia due to the combination of sediment supply, wave‐tidal sediment transport, and eco …

The importance of storm surge for sediment delivery to microtidal marshes

Q Zhu, PL Wiberg - Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Storm surge has the potential to significantly increase suspended sediment flux to microtidal
marshes. However, the overall effects of storm surge on microtidal marsh deposition have …

Marine sediment sustains the accretion of a mixed fluvial-tidal delta

N Leonardi, X Mei, I Carnacina, Z Dai - Marine Geology, 2021 - Elsevier
There has been a decline in fluvial sediment inputs to the world's deltas but it is still unclear
to which extent upstream changes in sediment supply directly relate to variations in wetlands …

Lateral shoreline erosion and shore-proximal sediment deposition on a coastal marsh from seasonal, storm and decadal measurements

KEL Smith, JF Terrano, NS Khan, CG Smith… - Geomorphology, 2021 - Elsevier
The persistence of coastal marsh is dependent on its ability to maintain elevation relative to
sea level, particularly for marshes experiencing high rates of shoreline erosion due to wave …

A Framework to Simplify Astro‐Meteorological Water Level and Wind Inputs for Modeling Coastal Marsh Ecomorphodynamics

G Mariotti, SM Zapp - Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Modeling long‐term marsh ecomorphodynamics often requires simplifying hydrodynamic

Tidal dissipation morphodynamic feedback triggers loss of microtidal marshes

SM Zapp, G Mariotti - Geology, 2024 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Coastal marsh loss is commonly attributed to changes in external forcings, such as an
increase in sea-level rise rate or a reduction in sediment supply. Here we show that …
