Salt Marsh Response to Inlet Switch-Induced Increases in Tidal Inundation (2022)
Journal Article
Yellen, B., Woodruff, J., Baranes, H., Engelhart, S., Geyer, R., Randall, N., & Griswold, F. (2023). Salt Marsh Response to Inlet Switch-Induced Increases in Tidal Inundation. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 128(1), https://doi.org/10.1029/2022jf006815

There is widespread concern that rapidly rising sea levels may drown salt marshes by exceeding the rate at which these important ecosystems can build elevation. A significant fraction of marshes reside within backbarrier estuaries, yet little attenti... Read More about Salt Marsh Response to Inlet Switch-Induced Increases in Tidal Inundation.

Implications of anomalous relative sea-level rise for the peopling of Remote Oceania (2022)
Journal Article
Sefton, J., Kemp, A., Engelhart, S., Ellison, J., Karegar, M., Charley, B., & McCoy, M. (2022). Implications of anomalous relative sea-level rise for the peopling of Remote Oceania. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 119(52), Article e2210863119. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2210863119

Beginning ~3,500 to 3,300 y B.P., humans voyaged into Remote Oceania. Radiocarbon-dated archaeological evidence coupled with cultural, linguistic, and genetic traits indicates two primary migration routes: a Southern Hemisphere and a Northern Hemisph...

Within-region replication of late Holocene relative sea-level change: an example from southern New England, United States (2022)
Journal Article
Stearns, R., Engelhart, S., Kemp, A., Hill, T., Brain, M., & Corbett, D. (2023). Within-region replication of late Holocene relative sea-level change: an example from southern New England, United States. Quaternary Science Reviews, 300, Article 107868. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2022.107868

Tide-gauge measurements in the western North Atlantic Ocean show coherent, multi-decadal relative sea-level (RSL) trends across multiple spatial scales. Proxy reconstructions developed from salt-marsh sediment can extend this instrumental record. How...

Relative sea-level change in South Florida during the past ~5 ka (2022)
Journal Article
Khan, N., Ashe, E., Moyer, R., Kemp, A., Engelhart, S., Brain, M., Toth, L., Chappell, A., Christie, M., Kopp, R., & Horton, B. (2022). Relative sea-level change in South Florida during the past ~5 ka. Global and Planetary Change, 216, Article 103902. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloplacha.2022.103902

A paucity of detailed relative sea-level (RSL) reconstructions from low latitudes hinders efforts to understand the global, regional, and local processes that cause RSL change. We reconstruct RSL change during the past ~5 ka using cores of mangrove p... Read More about Relative sea-level change in South Florida during the past ~5 ka.

Reproducibility and variability of earthquake subsidence estimates from saltmarshes of a Cascadia estuary (2022)
Journal Article
Padgett, J., Engelhart, S., Kelsey, H., Witter, R., & Cahill, N. (2022). Reproducibility and variability of earthquake subsidence estimates from saltmarshes of a Cascadia estuary. Journal of Quaternary Science, 37(7), 1294-1312. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.3446

We examine fossil foraminiferal assemblages from 20 sediment cores to assess sudden relative sea-level (RSL) changes across three mud-over-peat contacts at three salt marshes in northern Humboldt Bay, California (~44.8°N, −124.2°W). We use a validate... Read More about Reproducibility and variability of earthquake subsidence estimates from saltmarshes of a Cascadia estuary.
