Jim Heffernan, Marco Marani, and Brad Murray, along with Matt Kirwan at the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences, have received a new grant to measure and model the spatial extent of coastal wetlands at the continental scale. The basic idea is to extend our current understanding of salt marsh evolution up into watersheds, and explicitly link sediment delivery from the uplands with the internal estuarine processes that shape marsh distributions. This grant is based in large part on Anna Braswell's PhD research.
