However, as sea level rises, marshes are at risk from “drowning.” To survive, marshes must maintain their elevation relative to surrounding waters. They do this, in part, through accretion, a process by which sediment suspended in the water accumulates on the marsh’s surface. For marshes to survive, accretion must keep pace with sea level rise. Making decisions to support marsh sustainability depends on the ability to accurately measure suspended sediment concentrations, yet current monitoring programs lack well-tested, effective approaches to doing so. The project team addressed this gap by developing a protocol to assess suspended sediment in tidal marshes, improve understanding of sediment dynamics, increase the accuracy of ecological models, and inform marsh conservation and restoration for the future. completed notPlanned EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE ECOSYSTEMS > ESTUARY theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 23.3 climate change marsh accretion restoration sea level rise sediment transport theme Grand Bay, MS North Inlet-Winyah Bay, SC San Franciso Bay, CA 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.
