Gated storm surge barriers have been constructed or proposed in many estuaries worldwide for coastal flood risk reduction.

Rising coastal flood risk and recent disasters are driving interest in the construction of gated storm surge barriers worldwide, with current studies recommending barriers for at least 11 estuaries in the United States alone.

This 2022 paper which appeared in Nature discusses a modeling approach to examine the marsh ’s buffering capacity in a changing climate (from 2020 to 2100), considering a potential marsh restoration plan (from 2020 to 2025) and potential marsh loss due to sea-level rise.

This open access article describes an assessment of the storm buffering services provided by Piermont Marsh, New York.

This article, published in Scientific Reports in 2021, describes work done as part of a 2016-2020 collaborative research project conducted at Hudson River Reserve in New York. The article describes a regression model that can be used for wetland restoration planning to help reduce storm-related structural damage.

This article provides a comprehensive summary of what is known about the ecological functioning of the shore zone in freshwater ecosystems.

This article, published as part of the Hudson River Sustainable Shorelines project in 2012, reports on an effort to document the biodiversity supported by different kinds of shore zones in the Hudson River Estuary.

This article, published in Hydrobiologia in 2014, reports on research into the ecology of wrack (organic matter that is washed onto shore) on different types of Hudson River shorelines (natural and engineered) as part of a 2010 Collaborative Research project.

This article, produced as part of the Hudson River Sustainable Shorelines project, is a comprehensive analysis of the abundance and composition of vegetation living in riprap revetments on Hudson River shorelines.
