As described in our final report, the research conducted for this project had four primary components: • Extreme flows and land-use change in Maidstone Bends, Connecticut River, NH, VT • Climate change, extreme flows, and land use in Otter Creek, Connecticut River, VT • Effects of extreme events and river management on sediment and river habitats • Nutrient impacts in the Great Lakes and coastal New England. This data management report focuses on two of these components, the modeling of Otter Creek and the effects of extreme events and river management on sediment and river habitats. The work accomplished on the Maidstone Bends research was preliminary and less extensive than that performed on Otter Creek. The nutrient...

Loss of saltmarsh habitat is one of the biggest threats to coastal sustainability in the Northeast. Salt marsh has been identified as an essential fish and wildlife habitat, and loss of saltmarsh corresponds with precipitous declines in marsh-dependent wildlife. For example, the global population of Saltmarsh Sparrow is predicted to collapse within the next 50 years after experiencing a 9% annual decline across the northeastern U.S. Resource managers require tools to help restore salt marsh habitat for wildlife by adapting marshes to climate change-driven sea level rise. However, adaptation approaches need to be tested and evaluated before widespread application. Researchers are testing a rapidly emerging sea...
