Accurate regional climate projections are vital for coastal planners, engineers, and communities which face an onslaught of impacts from climate change, including sea-level rise, changing […]
In 2018, Oregon Sea Grant-supported researchers continued to investigate the factors affecting blue carbon burial in Oregon tidal wetlands. Carbon accumulation was found to be primarily
Some 40 percent of the nation’s coastal marshes reside in Louisiana. These wetland habitats are vital to the state’s economy, ecology and resilience. Their importance
Understanding carbon cycling in coastal habitats is critical for understanding global carbon budgets and opportunities for climate change mitigation. At the interface between oceanic and

Sea level rates in the Chesapeake and coastal bays are rising at about twice the national average. Climate change is making storms more intense. This
Wetlands are important in mediating the effects of global climate change by sequestering CO2 in recalcitrant plant biomass or anoxic soils. Alternatively, these ecosystems may
With funding from Washington Sea Grant, researchers conducted one of the first-ever studies on sediment carbon stock and carbon sequestration rates for restored and natural
