Identifying the effects of chronic saltwater intrusion in coastal floodplain swamps using remote sensing Coastal floodplain swamps are an important part of the coastal wetland mosaic, however they are threatened due to accelerated rates of sea level rise and saltwater intrusion (SWI). In this newly published paper in Remote Sensing of Environment, CFW alum Dr. […]
