This project overview describes a 2015 Science Transfer project that used scenario planning and the best available science to facilitate local dialogue addressing how climate change may impact the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska.

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.

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.

Oysters are the tiny superheroes of coastal environments. They enhance water quality, create habitat, and protect shorelines from storms and erosion. Along the Pacific Coast, native oysters are in decline, due in part to sedimentation, inadequate protection, and unsustainable harvests.

This article, which appeared in Global Change Biology, discusses findings from a study that quantified total ecosystem carbon stocks of major tidal wetland types in the Pacific Northwest.
