This grant from the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Piedmont-South Atlantic CESU, supports research on coastal wetland ecological sustainability amidst rising sea levels. The project utilizes USGS-collected field data in process-based numerical coastal wetland simulation models, referencing methods like Morris et al. (2002), to predict marsh viability. Collaborating universities will gain close professional engagement with USGS scientists, fostering interdisciplinary research. This initiative directly addresses critical federal resource management challenges concerning sea-level rise impacts on coastal wetlands.

| Description: | This award provides for assistance to use the field data being collected by the USGS in process based numerical coastal wetland simulation models similar to those described in Morris, J.T., Sundareshwar, P.V., Nietch, C.T., Kjerfve, B., Cahoon, D.R., 2002. Responses of coastal wetlands to rising sea level. Ecology 83, 2869-2877 to model the ecological sustainability of these marshes in the face of sea-level rise.
University will benefit by close professional collaboration with USGS scientists and increased opportunities for an interdisciplinary research project related to federal resource management issues surrounding the impact of sea level rise on coastal wetlands. |
