This project overview describes a 2017 Collaborative Research project that generated precise estimates of nutrient retention by Lake Erie wetlands to inform management and decision making.

This project overview describes a 2017 Collaborative Research project that tested the effectiveness of thin-layer sediment placement as a marsh adaptation strategy.

Eleven projects have been recommended for funding by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) Science Collaborative.

These slides summarize a webinar given by Danielle Boudreau and Syverine Bentz on December 20, 2017, on how they used scenario planning to overcome uncertainty around barriers to climate adaptation in southcentral Alaska.

This 2017 article appeared in the journal Ecology, and presents findings from a study assessing the individual and synergistic effects of air temperature and salinity on Olympia oyster mortality across temporal patterns that accurately reflect the natural environment.

This 2016 journal article was published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The study highlights how extreme precipitation events in 2011 may have contributed to near 100% mass mortality of wild oysters in northern San Francisco Bay.

This journal article was published in Estuaries and Coasts in 2016, and decribes a study of how seasonal changes in temperature and salinity impact larval Olympia oyster recruitment across a range of sites and time intervals.

In honor of National Estuaries Week, the University of Michigan Water Center is pr

This project overview describes a 2010 Collaborative Research project in which a team led by South Slough Reserve developed a science-based plan to restore Olympia oysters to Oregon's coast.

The University of Michigan (U-M) Water Center is pleased to announce the outcome of this year ’s competition for research and integrated assessment projects under NOAA ’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) Science Collaborative.
