The project team developed statistics-ready data packages linking vegetation change with surface elevation and other data, including output from an inundation tool. This project equipped New England reserves and coastal managers with new information to inform and improve the management, protection, and restoration of salt marshes. It produced an improved Sentinel Site monitoring protocol and established a methodology for analysis of marsh condition that can be used across the reserve system and by coastal managers nationwide. This catalyst project was funded by NOAA through the National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative to advance collaborative science. It did not produce any new data. Sea level rise and climate change present major threats to salt marshes nationwide. In an effort to better track and understand their impacts on marsh vegetation and sediment accretion, the National Estuarine Research Reserve System established Sentinel Sites at reserve around the country. However, most reserves had not yet analyzed their Sentinel Site data and there had been no attempt to conduct regional syntheses despite the fact that regional-scale processes can strongly influence marsh vulnerability to sea level rise. completed notPlanned EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE ECOSYSTEMS > ESTUARY theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 23.3 CONTINENT > NORTH AMERICA > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA > MAINE CONTINENT > NORTH AMERICA > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA > MASSACHUSETTS CONTINENT > NORTH AMERICA > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA > NEW HAMPSHIRE CONTINENT > NORTH AMERICA > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA > RHODE ISLAND place Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords 23.3 Great Bay NERR, NH Narragansett Bay NERR, RI Waquoit Bay NERR, MA Wells NERR, ME place DOC/NOAA/NOS/OCM > Office of Coastal Management, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2026.
