The science of hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico: a review
The Mississippi River is one of the world's 10 largest rivers, with average freshwater
discharge into the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) of 380km3year− 1. In the northern GOM …

Localized scenarios and latitudinal patterns of vertical and lateral resilience of tidal marshes to sea‐level rise in the contiguous United States
Coastal wetlands have two dimensions of vulnerability to sea‐level rise (SLR), a vertical
one, in cases where SLR outpaces their capacity to vertically accrete, and a lateral one, in …

Avoiding timescale bias in assessments of coastal wetland vertical change
There is concern that accelerating sea‐level rise will exceed the vertical growth capacity of
coastal‐wetland substrates in many regions by the end of this century. Vertical vulnerability …
