Relationships between ecosystem properties and sea‑level rise vulnerability of tidal wetlands of the U.S. Mid‑Atlantic
Tidal wetlands in the Mid-Atlantic, USA, are experiencing high rates of relative sea level rise, and it is unclear whether they will be resilient in […]

How Much Marsh Restoration Is Enough to Deliver Wave Attenuation Coastal Protection Benefits?
As coastal communities grow more vulnerable to sea-level rise and increased storminess, communities have turned to nature-based solutions to bolster coastal resilience and protection. Marshes […]

Evaluating Thin-Layer Sediment Placement as a Tool for Enhancing Tidal Marsh Resilience: a Coordinated Experiment Across Eight US National Estuarine Research Reserves
Thin-layer sediment placement (TLP) is a promising management tool for enhancing tidal marsh resilience to rising seas. We conducted a 3-year experiment at eight US […]

Hidden vulnerability of US Atlantic coast to sea-level rise due to vertical land motion
The vulnerability of coastal environments to sea-level rise varies spatially, particularly due to local land subsidence. However, high-resolution observations and models of coastal subsidence are […]
Recent Acceleration of Wetland Accretion and Carbon Accumulation Along the U.S. East Coast report

Recent Acceleration of Wetland Accretion and Carbon Accumulation Along the U.S. East Coast
The long-term stability of coastal wetlands is determined by interactions among sea level, plant primary production, sediment supply, and wetland vertical accretion. Human activities in […]

Socioeconomic Value of Delaware Wetlands
Wetlands, marshes, and bogs in Delaware provide significant economic value ranging from $1 billion to $3 billion annually and support 25,000 jobs with $568 million […]
U.S. community perspectives on coastal flooding report
Document/Report
U.S. community perspectives on coastal flooding
Coastal flooding, from both extreme events and sea level rise, is one of the top management challenges facing U.S. coastal stakeholders today. The intensity of […]
