MEM
Marsh Equilibrium Model
MEM is a wetlands model designed to simulate marsh dynamics under sea level rise. The captured marsh processes include sediment transport, water level rise, terrestrial and intertidal vegetative response.

- Model Information
- For more information about this model, go to 129.252.139.226
- Spatial Resolution
- The depths are given in cm
- Temporal Resolution
- Time step is years as the model is intended to evaluate climate change response.
- Outputs
- Outputs include marsh elevation and vegetation response. Model generates output graphs and tables of anticipated marsh changes.
- Intended User
- practitioner
