Field and model data for studying the effects of sea-level rise on eight tidal marshes in coastal Washington and Oregon

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: September 10, 2026 at 08:47 PM | Dataset Last Updated: August 31, 2026 at 12:00 AM
The research was conducted at eight tidal marshes in coastal estuaries spanning the Washington and Oregon coastlines from Padilla Bay in northern Washington to Bandon located at the mouth of the Coquille River in southern Oregon. The researchers performed bathymetric surveys, created digital elevation models, measured historic rates of mineral and organic matter accumulation, conducted vegetation surveys, deployed water level data loggers, and produced WARMER wetland accretion model projections for each study site. This collection contains data for all of the above across a number of different datasets. Users should investigate the metadata for each item for more information about it's purpose, methods, quality, and characteristics.
