Surging Seas and Saline Soils: Coupled Coastal Surge and Terrestrial Ecohydrology to Assess Soil salinization
COASTAL HYDROLOGY: OBSERVATION, MODELING, AND PREDICTION OF SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE PROCESSES AND PATTERNS I POSTER
hydrology | 12 december 2024
Hanne Borstlap, Lawrence E. Band, Qingguang Zhu, P...
The rural coastal communities on the Eastern Shore of Virginia (ESVA) and their natural resources are increasingly threatened by climate change. These...

Tidal Flat Erosion Supports Salt Marsh Accretion in a Back-Barrier Bay
COASTAL GEOMORPHOLOGY AND MORPHODYNAMICS V ELIGHTNING
earth and planetary surface processes | 11 december 2024
Tyler Barnes, Patricia Wiberg
Coastal wetlands must gain elevation at rates comparable to relative sea level rise (RSLR) to avoid salt marsh drowning. Vertical marsh accretion is r...

JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH: BIOGEOSCIENCES
02 april 2024
Qingguang Zhu, Patricia Wiberg
Both submerged aquatic vegetation and salt marsh are important coastal ecosystems known for their effectiveness in sediment trapping and carbon bur...
Interannual and Spatial Variability of Deposition within a Vegetated Shallow Coastal Bay
REMOTE SENSING OF NEARSHORE PHYSICAL PROCESSES AND COASTAL MORPHOLOGY III POSTER
ocean technologies and observatories | 22 february 2024
Tyler Barnes, Patricia Wiberg
Sea level rise is a major driver of change within shallow coastal bays, resulting in deeper water depths unless bay bottoms accumulate sediment at rat...

Seasonal growth and senescence of seagrass alters sediment dynamics in the coupled tidal flat-marsh system
COASTAL BIOPHYSICAL INTERACTIONS: HYDRODYNAMICS, SEDIMENTARY PROCESSES, MORPHODYNAMICS, AND COASTAL RESILIENCY II ORAL
earth and planetary surface processes | 13 december 2022
Qingguang Zhu, Patricia Wiberg, Karen J. McGlather...
Seagrass and salt marsh are important sediment and carbon sinks, yet are also among the most rapidly declining marine habitats. Understanding sediment...

Twenty Years of Bathymetric Change in a Shallow Back-Barrier Bay
COASTAL GEOMORPHOLOGY AND MORPHODYNAMICS III POSTER
earth and planetary surface processes | 12 december 2022
Tyler Barnes, Patricia Wiberg
Bathymetric change in shallow coastal bays is intrinsic to the morphodynamic evolution of back-barrier systems given feedbacks between bay bathymetry,...

The Importance of Storm Surge for Sediment Delivery to Microtidal Marshes
JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH: EARTH SURFACE
02 september 2022
Qingguang Zhu, Patricia Wiberg
Storm surge has the potential to significantly increase suspended sediment flux to microtidal marshes. However, the overall effects of storm surge ...
