High Platform Elevations Highlight the Role of Storms and Spring Tides in Salt Marsh Evolution
We combine sea level records and repeat lidar surveys at 8 sites in the United Kingdom and the United States to explore controls on marsh accretion. We compare marsh elevations relative to sea level as well as lidar-derived marsh accretion rates to simple 0-dimensional settling simulations in order...
