U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Woods Hole Coastal & Marine Science Center (WHCMSC) solicits research on lateral, aquatic flux of materials between tidal wetlands and coastal waters. Scientists at WHCMSC have substantial history and ongoing investigation of this type of flux, and implications for decision-making on coastal landscapes. They have built a collaborative network of scientists across the country, collecting flux data using consistent approaches across sites. Multi-year, high frequency flux data, water budgets, and ancillary data are to be delivered from USGS and academic institutions on the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts. Research activities are sought to standardize the data, analyze spatial and temporal variability in rates, and examine predictive controls. This research will advance understanding through a first synthesis of existing flux data collected across multiple sites, collected by USGS and by academic colleagues, using methods co-developed by USGS. The project will execute innovations in data analytical techniques, and dissemination of associated computer code. Project results will be disseminated as a public dataset and associated metadata, and as a peer reviewed journal article.
