Earth System Models

Representing the function and sensitivity of coastal interfaces in Earth System Models

Between the land and ocean, diverse coastal ecosystems transform, store, and transport material. Across these interfaces, the dynamic exchange of energy and matter is driven by hydrological and hydrodynamic processes such as river and groundwater …

Floodplain inundation and salinization from a recently restored first-order tidal stream

The systematic response of coastal ecosystems to inundation and salinity exposure is fundamental to their ecology and biogeochemical function. Here we observe and model freshwater‐seawater interactions in a first‐order stream—floodplain system where …
