Purpose

These data were used to quantify geotechnical properties such as soil shear strength towards resilience in a multivariate framework, and to explore the drivers of resilience in coastal salt marshes. The data show the evolution of shear strength and stratigraphy with depth and time as wetlands degrade into ponds.
