The living shoreline feasibility model (LSFM) is an integrative tool that evaluates a suite of metrics to assess considerations involved in constructing and maintaining a […]
The goal of WATCH is to provide a method to evaluate the condition and trajectory of a tidal wetland site to inform decision-making, restoration project […]
The Marsh Explorer allows the user to to conduct a high-level evaluation of marsh conditon metrics, and the Living Shoreline Explorer provides recommendations of living […]
Welcome to the New Jersey Bay Islands Restoration Planner–a decision-support tool for managing NJ’s bay islands from Metedeconk River south to Beach Haven / Little […]
With sea levels rising under global warming, dredge-and-fill programs are increasingly employed to protect coastal development from shoreline erosion. Such beach “nourishment” can bury shallow […]
Coastal inlets separate individual barrier islands or barrier spits and adjacent headlands (Hayes and Fitzgerald 2013). Inlets modify longshore transport and store sediment in flood […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
