A significant ... -
Importance of coastal change variables in determining vulnerability to sea- and lake-level change
Pendleton, Elizabeth A.; Thieler, E. Robert; Williams, S. Jeffress (Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2010-01)In 2001, the U.S. Geological Survey began conducting scientific assessments of coastal vulnerability to potential future sea- and lake-level changes in 22 National Park Service sea- and lakeshore units. Coastal park units ... -
Abrupt climate change as an important agent of ecological change in the Northeast U.S. throughout the past 15,000 years
