Abstract

Abstract : Key findings : 1. SSC was significantly correlated with wind speed during sampling. 2. Sediment deposition rates (TTD and FTD) and retention ratio (FTD/TTD) were significantly correlated with cumulative wave energy during the measurement period. 3. It is important to incorporate local sediment dynamics when evaluating marsh vulnerability and stability.
