Biogeosciences}, volume = {125}, number = {2 }, year = {2020}, note = {In this study, the authors used the Oregon coast as {\textquotedblleft}a natural laboratory{\textquotedblright} (p.16). Sediment accumulation and carbon burial rates over the last 100 years were measured in seven different estuaries. Marshes on the north and south coast (Youngs, Nehalem, Coquille, Netarts) were keeping pace with sea level rise, with sediment loads greater than the rising waters. Central coast estuaries (Salmon, Alsea) did not have sedimentation greater than sea level rise, indicating possible future drowning of marshes in those estuaries. Sediment load and relative sea level rise, rather than elevation, appear to drive sediment accumulation. Sediment accumulation rates correlate with carbon burial, and {\textquotedblleft}carbon accumulation will increase as long as tidal saline wetlands maintain positive accretionary balances{\textquotedblright} (p.16).}, month = {2020, Feb.}, pages = {article e2019JG005464 }, keywords = {Youngs River estuary, Nehalem Bay, Tillamook Bay, Netarts Bay, Salmon River estuary, Alsea Bay, Coquille River estuary, salt marsh, wetlands, sediments, climate change, sea levels, carbon,}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1029/2019JG005464}, author = {Peck, Erin K. and Wheatcroft, Robert A. and Brophy, Laura S.} } @article {82531, title = {Insights into estuary habitat loss in the western United States using a new method for mapping maximum extent of tidal wetlands}, journal = {PLoS One}, volume = {14}, number = {8}, year = {2019}, note = {This article recounts the techniques that led to the production of the 2017 maps to model the effects of sea level rise.
