In addition to their being vital components of mid-to high-latitude coastal ecosystems, salt
marshes contain 0.1% of global sequestered terrestrial carbon. Their sustainability is now …

River delta degradation has been caused by extraction of natural resources, sediment
retention by reservoirs, and sea-level rise. Despite global concerns about these issues …

Bars and subaqueous levees often form at river mouths due to high sediment availability.
Once these deposits emerge and develop into islands, they become important elements of …

Keystone species have large ecological effects relative to their abundance and have been
identified in many ecosystems. However, global change is pervasively altering …

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 …

There is an increasing demand for the creation and restoration of tidal marshes around the
world, as they provide highly valued ecosystem services. Yet restored tidal marshes are …

The Wadden Sea is a unique coastal wetland containing an uninterrupted stretch of tidal
flats that span a distance of nearly 500km along the North Sea coast from the Netherlands to …

In shallow coastal settings channels provide a pathway for the tide to propagate and are,
thus, a primary control on the sedimentation and ecology of these environments. Being …

Morphodynamic equilibrium is a widely adopted yet elusive concept in the field of
geomorphology of coasts, rivers and estuaries. Based on the Exner equation, an expression …

Deltas and estuaries worldwide face the challenge of capturing sufficient sediment to keep
up with relative sea‐level rise. Knowledge about sediment pathways and fluxes is crucial to …
