Abstract
Abstract:
It is hypothesized that sea-level rise and storm events are influencing the disappearance of marsh island vegetation in Long Island’s South Shore Estuary. A significant negative correlation was found when comparing mean local sea level rise to marsh vegetation NDVI values in Jamaica Bay, Queens, and Nassau County.
