Impact of climate change on New York City's coastal flood hazard: Increasing flood heights from the preindustrial to 2300 CE

AJ Garner, ME Mann, KA Emanuel, RE Kopp… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - pnas.org

Contributions of organic and inorganic matter to sediment volume and accretion in tidal wetlands at steady state

JT Morris, DC Barber, JC Callaway, R Chambers… - Earth's …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
A mixing model derived from first principles describes the bulk density (BD) of intertidal
wetland sediments as a function of loss on ignition (LOI). The model assumes that the bulk …
