Over the past decades, the scientific community has made significant efforts to simulate
flooding conditions using a variety of complex physically based models. Despite all …

Sea level rise (SLR) poses a hazard to ecosystems and economies in low-lying coastal and
estuarine areas. To better understand the potential impacts of SLR in estuaries, a …

Coastal wetland ecosystems are expected to migrate landwards in response to rising seas.
However, due to differences in topography and coastal urbanization, estuaries vary in their …

Salt marshes are very valuable and threatened ecosystems, and are challenging to study
due to their difficulty of access and the alterable nature of their soft soil. Remote sensing …

Two distinct microtidal estuarine systems were assessed to advance the understanding of
the coastal dynamics of sea level rise in salt marshes. A coupled hydrodynamic-marsh …

Key features: Captures the historic context and recent developments in science and policy
arenas that address the potential for coastal wetlands to be considered as significant …

Coastal saltmarshes are key ecosystems with important ecological functions. Yet, they have
experienced a widespread decline. Due to their importance, the conservation and …

Low‐lying coastlines are vulnerable to sea‐level rise and storm surge salinization,
threatening the sustainability of coastal farmland. Most crops are intolerant of salinity, and …

Salt marshes are important coastal environments that provide key ecological services. As
sea level rise has accelerated globally, concerns about the ability of salt marshes to survive …

This book and this synthesis address the pressing need for better management of coastal
wetlands worldwide because these wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate; in some …
