GIT-Funded Marsh Data Synthesis Project
CompleteThis project developed a methodology that synthesizes information in a format that can be used to assist with marsh conservation and restoration decisions under multiple sea level rise scenarios.
Description
The goal of this project was to 1) compile existing datasets and information related to marsh migration under sea level rise-driven inundation due to forecasted climate change, topography of bay shorelines, shoreline condition (e.g., erosion rates, hardening, existing natural resources), existing wetland area and potential migration corridors, and other relevant data from around the Chesapeake Bay and 2) develop a methodology that synthesizes the information in a format that can be used to assist with marsh conservation and restoration decisions under multiple sea level rise scenarios.
