CPRA Master Plan Predictive Modeling: Wetland Morphology Model – Brady Couvillion, U.S. Geological S
The Wetland Morphology model was developed to predict coastal Louisiana wetland morphologic dynamics in a changing environment (e.g., global warming, eustatic sea‐ level rise [ESLR], land subsidence, freshwater and mineral sediment supply reductions). The model consists of relative elevation and landscape change sub‐models that are developed based upon the best available data and our most recent understanding of the role of coastal biophysical processes including land loss, land gain, marsh collapse, sediment transport, sediment deposition, sediment retention, vertical accretion, organic matter production, sea level rise (SLR), and subsidence on shaping coastal morphology.
