NASA-Supported Study Tracks Carbon Cost of Coastal Erosion

NASA-Supported Study Tracks Carbon Cost of Coastal Erosion: From Texas to Maine, coastal wetlands and marshes are releasing more than 1.45 billion pounds (660,000 metric tons) of carbon into the ocean each year, according to new research supported by NASA. Coastal marshes, like forests and tundra, store large amounts of carbon in their plants and soil, but changes caused by storms, rising seas […].
