Study Finds Seasonal Differences in Marshland Erosion in South San Francisco Bay
Erosion of marsh boundaries by waves is a major cause of marsh loss, but little research has captured the effect of seasonal differences on marsh-edge retreat. A new study conducted by scientists at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the University of California, Berkeley, shows how seasonal climate variations influence the rate of marshland erosion due to wind-driven wave activity.
