The Water Institute author King, Kendall Virginia Institute of Marine Science author Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) contributor tableDigital This dataset includes measured sediment characteristics and vertical accretion rates of backbarrier marshes along the Georgia Bight. Data include bulk density (g/cm^3), water content (%), organic content (%), Pb-210 (Bq/kg), Cs-137 (Bq/kg), and calculated rates of vertical accretion (mm/yr) as measured from sediment cores collected during December 2017. Data are provided as CSV files. Sediment cores were collected across the Georgia Bight (southeast coast, USA) to measure long-term (~100-year) rates of vertical marsh accretion in diverse barrier-island-associated marshes to test theories of marsh resilience in the face of sea-level rise. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0286629 Preview graphic PNG 0286629 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2023-12-27 publication Cesium-137 CORE - BULK DENSITY CORE - WATER CONTENT CORE AGE ORGANIC MATTER - WEIGHT PERCENT theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS sediment sampler - corer instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS laboratory analyses manual sample collection theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS Virginia Institute of Marine Science dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Virginia Institute of Marine Science dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication CWM/VIMS > Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
