Changing elevation, accretion, and tidal marsh plant assemblages in a South San Francisco Bay tidal marsh
Analyses of organic content, pollen, and the carbon-isotopic composition of a 3.5-m sediment core collected from a subsided tidal marsh located in South San Francisco Bay, California, have provided a 500-yr re...

Wetland Loss Patterns and Inundation-Productivity Relationships Prognosticate Widespread Salt Marsh Loss for Southern New England
Tidal salt marsh is a key defense against, yet is especially vulnerable to, the effects of accelerated sea level rise. To determine whether salt marshes in southern New England will be stable given increasing ...

Are Tidal Salt Marshes Exposed to Nutrient Pollution more Vulnerable to Sea Level Rise?
Over the past four decades, Long Island, NY, USA, has lost coastal wetlands at a rate of 4% per decade due to submergence. In this study, we examined relationships between the rate of tidal salt marsh loss and...

Sediment Accumulation, Elevation Change, and the Vulnerability of Tidal Marshes in the Delaware Estuary and Barnegat Bay to Accelerated Sea Level Rise
Tidal marshes are highly valued habitats, yet are vulnerable to loss from both anthropogenic and natural disturbances including sea-level rise (SLR). Many tidal marshes have kept pace with SLR over the last ce...

Climate and Vegetation Change in a Coastal Marsh: Two Snapshots of Groundwater Dynamics and Tidal Flooding at Piermont Marsh, NY Spanning 20 Years
Groundwater hydrology plays an important role in coastal marsh biogeochemical function, in part because groundwater dynamics drive the zonation of macrophyte community distribution. Changes that occur over tim...
