Long-term sea level rise modeling of a basin-tidal inlet system reveals sediment sinks

Abstract Much of the world’s population lives close to coastlines and this proximity is becoming increasingly impactful because of sea-level rise (SLR). Barrier islands and backbarrier saltmarshes, which comprise >10% of these coasts, are particularly susceptible. To better understand this risk,...
