Biogeochemical Controls on Phosphorus in Urban-Influenced Coastal Ecosystems
This project examines how
biogeochemical processes
that support
ecosystem
function vary across
inundation
and
salinity
gradients that represent current and future
coastal ecosystems.
The specific objective is to evaluate geochemical controls on the solubility of the nutrient phosphorus in growing and shrinking
deltas
along the Louisiana Gulf Coast.

Coastal deltas are interfaces between terrestrial systems and oceans that are sensitive to sea level rise due to climate change and direct human modification of riverine systems. (Image credit: Oak Ridge National Laboratory)
