Assess graduate-level understanding of the physical, ecological, and biogeochemical processes that control coastal wetland resilience and carbon dynamics under sea-level rise. Scope includes vertical accretion and sediment supply, plant productivity and decomposition, peat formation and burial, hydrodynamic forcing (inundation frequency, salinity, tidal range), subsidence and lateral migration, greenhouse gas fluxes (CO2, CH4), common measurement methods and models, and management actions that influence carbon storage and wetland persistence.
