Salt marshes are recognized as valuable resources that are threatened by climate change
and human activities. Better management and planning for these ecosystems will depend on …

Land loss in the Mississippi River Delta is due to the human-altered sediment budget, yet
the relative contributions of building dams, levees and extracting subsurface resources are …

Coastal marshes are threatened by relative sea-level (RSL) rise, yet recent studies predict
marsh survival even under the high rates of RSL rise expected later in this century. However …

Recent studies have produced conflicting results as to whether coastal wetlands can keep
up with present‐day and future sea‐level rise. The stratigraphic record shows that threshold …

This review synthesizes the knowledge regarding the environmental forces affecting water
level variability in the coastal waters of the Mississippi River delta and relates these …

Coastal wetland loss through marsh edge erosion is a serious problem in Louisiana. The
majority of studies on coastal land loss use aerial and satellite photographic analysis while …

Marsh shorelines are retreating rapidly in coastal Louisiana, largely driven by wind waves
attacking the marsh edge. The amount of wave power hitting the marsh is a major predictor …

Sediment is the most valuable natural resource for deltaic environments because it is
required to build new land. For land building to occur, sediment must be retained in the delta …

Abstract The Breton Sound Estuary, located within the Mississippi River Delta, has
experienced significant wetland loss over the past century due to a combination of natural …

Coastal marshes and their valuable ecosystem services are feared to be lost by sea level
rise, yet the mechanisms of marsh degradation into ponds and potential recovery are poorly …
