This tool is a novel approach to compare the resilience of different marshes to sea level rise.

This project overview describes a 2016 Integrated Assessment project that is looking at how to create a modernized land use plan for Oregon's Coos Bay Estuary that balances responsible economic development, social interests, and protection of natural resources.

This project overview describes a 2016 Collaborative Research project that filled information gaps and modeled estuarine circulation and sediment distribution in Oregon's Coos estuary.

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.

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.

Over $2.6 million will be awarded to six projects by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative that engage research efforts on 12 reserves across the nation.

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.

The National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) Science Collaborative is pleased to announce the results of the 2016 competition for research and integrated assessment proj
