This page includes resources for understanding how marshes will be impacted by sea-level rise.

Hydrodynamic Marsh Equilibrium Model (Hydro-MEM) Story Maps

  • Developed By: NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, EESLR Program, LSU Center for Coastal Resiliency
  • Description: Shows results of EESLR-NGOM project coupling Marsh Equilibrium Model with ADCIRC to simulate sedimentation and sediment organic matter profiles and interactions with tides, waves, and sea-level. The story maps shows changes in marsh productivity due to sea-level rise in Grand Bay, Apalachicola, and Weeks Bay.

Marsh Equilibrium Model

  • Developed By: University of South Carolina
  • Description: A zero-dimensional model that allows users to perform sophisticated experiments and to simulate sedimentation and sediment organic matter profiles in any tidal marsh.

Wetland Migration in the Gulf of Mexico

  • Developed By: U.S. Geological Survey
  • Description: Visualization of modeling efforts that identify where tidal saline wetlands can migrate under future sea-level rise scenarios and potential natural and man-made barriers.
