Project: A process-based model of long term marsh platform and shoreline evolution in response to rising sea level and subsurface flow (R/HCE-1)

Investigators: James T. Kirby (University of Delaware) and Fengyan Shi (University of Delaware)

Researchers James Kirby and Fengyan Shi are developing a model to help improve understanding of how groundwater influences coastal marshes. The model is expected to become a useful tool that can help scientists assess how marshes respond to storms and rising sea levels.
