Dynamic interactions between coastal storms and salt marshes: A review
This manuscript reviews the progresses made in the understanding of the dynamic
interactions between coastal storms and salt marshes, including the dissipation of extreme …

Salt marsh dynamics in a period of accelerated sea level rise
Salt marshes are dynamic systems able to laterally expand, contract, and vertically accrete
in response to sea level rise. Here, we present the grand challenges that need to be …

A linear relationship between wave power and erosion determines salt-marsh resilience to violent storms and hurricanes
N Leonardi, NK Ganju… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Salt marsh losses have been documented worldwide because of land use change, wave
erosion, and sea-level rise. It is still unclear how resistant salt marshes are to extreme storms …

Resistance of salt marsh substrates to near‐instantaneous hydrodynamic forcing
Salt marshes deliver vital ecosystem services by providing habitats, storing pollutants and
atmospheric carbon, and reducing flood and erosion risk in the coastal hinterland. Net …

Shoreface erosion counters blue carbon accumulation in transgressive barrier-island systems
Landward migration of coastal ecosystems in response to sea-level rise is altering coastal
carbon dynamics. Although such landscapes rapidly accumulate soil carbon, barrier-island …

Assessing the human footprint on the sea-floor of coastal systems: the case of the Venice Lagoon, Italy
Coastal systems are among the most studied, most vulnerable, and economically most
important ecosystems on Earth; nevertheless, little attention has been paid, so far, to the …

Marsh edge erosion and associated carbon dynamics in coastal Louisiana: A proxy for future wetland-dominated coastlines world-wide
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 …

Wind-driven water level fluctuations drive marsh edge erosion variability in microtidal coastal bays
K Valentine, G Mariotti - Continental Shelf Research, 2019 - Elsevier
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 …

Salt marsh erosion rates and boundary features in a shallow Bay
Herein, we investigate the relationship between wind waves, salt marsh erosion rates, and
the planar shape of marsh boundaries by using aerial images and the numerical model …

Runaway barrier island transgression concept: Global case studies
The regime of accelerating sea-level rise forecasted by the IPCC (2013) suggests that many
platform marshes and tidal flats may soon cross a threshold and deteriorate/drown as back …
