Project Description
The project aims to address river-estuarine hydrological connectivity from the Mississippi River, across coastal wetlands, to open water estuarine systems impacting porewater salinity dynamics in marshes. The work is intended to lay a foundation for understanding the extent of river-estuarine connectivity through multiple pathways, including surface-groundwater exchange, and the salinity dynamics of marsh porewater subject to hydrological perturbation.
