NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science are awarding over $1.3 million, with an anticipated total of $3.4 million over the next four years, for research that will provide coastal ...

An NCCOS-funded Ecological Effects of Sea level Rise (EESLR) project led by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) on the Big Island of Hawaii is working to understand and predict the effect ...

A new NCCOS sponsored study published in Geophysical Research Letters found saltwater wetlands generally more resilient than freshwater wetlands. Using remote sensing to determine how saltwater flooding and high winds ...

Scientists predicted wetland soil accretion (or growth) rates in relation to predicted sea level riseusing a model and data from numerous tidal salt and freshwater wetlands around the United States ...

NCCOS sponsored research focusing onthe combined effects of low dissolved oxygen and ocean acidification finds that acidification can increase fish sensitivity to hypoxia. This has important implications for increasing atmospheric ...

A unique NCCOS sponsored study, recently published in Continental Shelf Research, examined the influence of sea level rise (SLR) on historic mainland and barrier island beaches and salt marshes of ...

The NCCOS sponsored project, Modeling Reproductive and Population Impacts of Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, led by the University of Texas at Austin, is investigating the impacts of ...

Declines in oxygen levels of coastal waters have accelerated in recent decades creating 'dead zones' not only in more publicized nearshore areas but in open ocean offshore regions of the ...

Coastal marsh elevation, a measurement used in models to predict impacts of sea level rise and periodic flooding from storm surge, is commonly determinedby remote sensing methods that have been ...
