	note = {This doctoral dissertation gives a good look at factors causing salt marshes in Oregon to contract or expand.  Two of the seven estuaries studied (Salmon River and Alsea) are drowning, while others are either keeping pace with sea level rise or actually growing. {\textquotedblleft}In particular, the Oregon margin provides an opportunity to compare a number of important drivers of centennial salt marsh morphologic change, including relative sea level rise, suspended sediment supply, basin area, bay morphology, and coseismic <br/>subsidence related to Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) earthquakes, all of which will be discussed in this dissertation.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)},

These are roughly decadal from 1939 to 2018 and were hand-digitized using historical aerial photography (1939 to the late 1990s) scanned at the University of Oregon{\textquoteright}s Map \& Aerial Photography Library and aerial imagery downloaded from the Oregon Statewide Imagery Program (https://www.oregon.gov/geo/Pages/imagery_data.aspx){\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract). Among the factors considered were the history of logging and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. It is hoped that results will suggest future changes in marshes under a different climate and different land use practices.},

Sediment accumulation and carbon burial rates over the last 100 years were measured in seven different estuaries.  Marshes on the north and south coast (Youngs, Nehalem, Coquille, Netarts) were keeping pace with sea level rise, with sediment loads greater than the rising waters.  Central coast estuaries (Salmon, Alsea) did not have sedimentation greater than sea level rise, indicating possible future drowning of marshes in those estuaries. Sediment load and relative sea level rise, rather than elevation, appear to drive sediment accumulation. Sediment accumulation rates correlate with carbon burial, and {\textquotedblleft}carbon accumulation will increase as long as tidal saline wetlands maintain positive accretionary balances{\textquotedblright} (p.16).},
