Exposure of coastal protected areas to storm surge and sea level rise in the United States Mid-Atlantic BightNARA Subscribed
Sea Level Rise (SLR) and storm intensification are a consequence of climate change. As a result, coastal areas are becoming increasingly vulnerable to storm surge exposure. The purpose of this study is to quantify the increased exposure of coastal natural Protected Areas (PA) in the Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB) region of the United States to hurricane-induced storm surge, particularly when compounded by SLR. In addition, we examin...
Estimating the impacts of recurrent and expanding coastal flooding on septic systems in Maryland’s Chesapeake BayNARA Subscribed
Projected sea-level rise (SLR) is expected to substantially expand coastal flood extents across Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay, with implications for decentralized wastewater infrastructure. This study integrates modeled coastal flooding scenarios from 2020 to 2060 with septic systems locations to quantify exposure under daily and annual flood conditions and identify areas where exposure intersects with high social vulnerability. F...
Improving coastal water level estimation by merging nadir-only satellite altimetry data into a hydrodynamic modelNARA Subscribed
Providing robust real-time flood warnings is of paramount importance to coastal communities. Although state-of-the-art hydrodynamic models are capable of robustly predicting coastal water levels (CWL), unresolved drivers affecting water level fluctuations are often not represented by the model governing equations. This work evaluates a novel method to improve the performance of the ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC) hydrodynamic mo...
DEMend: Automating Hydrological Correction of Digital Elevation Models for Enhanced Urban Flood ModelingNARA Subscribed
Increasingly frequent and extreme precipitation events are heightening flood hazard exposure, intensifying the need for efficient and reliable flood risk modeling. Such modeling relies critically on accurate Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), yet raw DEMs often contain artificial obstructions—primarily bridges and culverts—that incorrectly disrupt modeled water flow. While high-resolution elevation data from Light Detection and...
Salt marshes act as natural barriers that reduce wave energy during storm events and help protect coastal communities located in low-lying areas. This ecosystem can be an important asset for climate adaptation due to its particular capability of vertically accrete to adjust to long-term changes in water levels. Therefore, understanding marsh protection benefits thresholds in the face of sea-level rise (SLR) is important for pl...
Daily age, growth rate, and pelagic larval duration of commercially important snapper species in Abrolhos National Marine ParkNARA Subscribed
The age and daily growth of fish are registered through the deposition of increments in their otoliths, which are concretions formed by the precipitation of substances present in the endolymphatic fluid, mainly calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ). Faced with the need to fill some of the gaps in the knowledge on the occurrence and duration of the initial stages of snapper species' life cycles in the Abrolhos Bank, this study aimed to d...
Camera trap surveys of A tlantic F orest mammals: A data set for analyses considering imperfect detection (2004–2020)NARA Subscribed
Camera traps became the main observational method of a myriad of species over large areas. Data sets from camera traps can be used to describe the patterns and monitor the occupancy, abundance, and richness of wildlife, essential information for conservation in times of rapid climate and land‐cover changes. Habitat loss and poaching are responsible for historical population losses of mammals in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity...
