Large-river delta-front estuaries as natural “recorders” of global environmental change
TS Bianchi, MA Allison - Proceedings of the National …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Large-river delta-front estuaries (LDE) are important interfaces between continents and the

Tipping points of Mississippi Delta marshes due to accelerated sea-level rise
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 …

Vegetation death and rapid loss of surface elevation in two contrasting Mississippi delta salt marshes: The role of sedimentation, autocompaction and sea-level rise
From 1990 to 2004, we carried out a study on accretionary dynamics and wetland loss in salt
marshes surrounding two small ponds in the Mississippi delta; Old Oyster Bayou (OB), a …

Coastal wetland resilience, accelerated sea‐level rise, and the importance of timescale
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 …
