The USGS is offering this grant to a CESU partner for critical research aimed at identifying mechanisms of marsh vulnerability. This work will utilize remote sensing, observational, and/or numerical model data, focusing on the development and implementation of geospatial techniques. The objective is to merge diverse data sets across Northeastern United States salt marshes to link marsh characteristics with observed and predicted geomorphic stability. This grant is for providing vital information that supports natural resource management and enhances coastal resilience. The findings will guide future restoration and management priorities for various federal and state agencies, alongside non-governmental organizations, ensuring the long-term health and stability of these crucial ecosystems.
