With support from NSF, Villanova University marine scientist Nathaniel Weston studies how both land use and climate change can impact habitat in tidal marshes, including how rising sea levels may affect microbes and other plants and animals. Rising sea levels can actually cause marshes to grow in very different ways.
This is an episode from Science Nation, NSF's online magazine that's all about science for the people.
