This project brings together surface elevation table (SET) practitioners from across the northern Gulf to close data gaps.

Status: Active

SETs are used across the northern Gulf of Mexico to measure wetland elevation change and gain insight into the ability of wetlands to keep pace with sea-level rise. However, most of the SETs in our region were installed on a project-by-project basis, leaving critical gaps in the data. This project is working to bring SET practitioners from across the northern Gulf of Mexico region to close these gaps by updating existing SET stations, installing new SETs in identified gaps, and tailoring standardized protocols to address local nuances.
