Integrated Modeling to Protect Tidal Marshes? New MARBEFES article!

This study pioneers a combined eco-geomorphic and machine learning approach to predict the future of tidal marshes under rising sea levels and changing sediment supplies. Testing in Spanish marshes revealed potential losses of 6.7%–87.5%, emphasizing the urgency of action. The methodology offers global applicability, enabling precise, local-scale simulations to inform conservation and adaptation strategies. Explore the science behind this critical innovation and its implications for coastal ecosystems.
