Marshes and Sea Level Rise
Description: This research investigates how climate change and sea level rise may impact fresh and saltwater ecosystems. They set up experiments at sites that are a gradient from fresh water to salt water so that they could investigate the processes of how salt water intrusion impacts freshwater marshes, and how sea level rise impacts both tidal freshwater and salt marshes.
