Two of the seven estuaries studied (Salmon River and Alsea) are drowning, while others are either keeping pace with sea level rise or actually growing. {\textquotedblleft}In particular, the Oregon margin provides an opportunity to compare a number of important drivers of centennial salt marsh morphologic change, including relative sea level rise, suspended sediment supply, basin area, bay morphology, and coseismic <br/>subsidence related to Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) earthquakes, all of which will be discussed in this dissertation.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)},
