The Northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM) is a hotspot for blue carbon biogeochemical cycles due to its ability to fix and sequester blue carbon and potential to mitigate rising atmospheric CO $$_2$$ concentrations. In this study, we employed a dataset containing >1100 sediment cores collected from seagrass beds paired with publicly available data to estimate C and N stocks within the surface mixed layer of seagrass meadows. Sediment...

Coastal habitats (e.g., salt marshes, tidal flats, seagrass meadows, and mangrove forests) in the Texas Coastal Bend support diverse biological communities and provide critical ecosystem services. However, these ecosystems are sensitive to anthropogenic stressors, climate change, and acute weather events, which can threaten long-term resiliency. Rapid detection of habitat cover is critical for increasing our understanding of l...

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing development and continuation of sustainable aquaculture in temperate regions. We primarily consider the ecological and physical resilience of aquaculture in the Gulf of Maine (GoM), where a thriving industry includes marine algae, extensive and intensive shellfish aquaculture, and a well‐established Atlantic salmon industry, as well as the infrastructure required to suppor...
