Coastal impacts due to sea-level rise
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2007) recently estimated that global sea
level will rise from 0.18 to 0.59 m by the end of this century. Rising sea level not only …

An evaluation of subsidence rates and sea‐level variability in the northern Gulf of Mexico
While subsidence is widely recognized as a driver of geomorphic change in the northern
Gulf of Mexico (GOM), there is considerable disagreement over the rates of subsidence and …

Importance of wind conditions, fetch, and water levels on wave‐generated shear stresses in shallow intertidal basins
Wave‐generated shear stresses are the main mechanism responsible for sediment erosion
on tidal flats and regulate both sediment concentrations in the water column and, together …

Salt marsh loss affects tides and the sediment budget in shallow bays
The current paradigm is that salt marshes and their important ecosystem services are
threatened by global climate change; indeed, large marsh losses have been documented …
