Surface deposition and elevation change in five salt marshes, Humboldt Bay, CA, 2014-2019 Elevation change and surface deposition are important drivers of salt marsh ecological processes and represent two of the fundamental variables for determining marsh resilience to sea-level rise. Surface Elevation Tables with Marker Horizons (SET-MH) were used to measure plot-scale elevation change (SETs) and surface deposition (MHs) in five USGS study marshes located in Humboldt Bay, CA. SET-MHs were installed in 2014 (Mad River marsh and Manila marsh) and in 2015 (Jacoby marsh, White marsh, and Hookton marsh) and were measured during quarterly site visits. The SET-MH network includes two SETs and six MHs in each of the five study marshes. Measuring elevation change at the two SETs in each study marsh involves...

In 2016, pressure-transducing data loggers (LT Edge Model 3001, Solinst and Hobo Model U-20-001-01-Ti) and barometric-pressure loggers (Model 3001, Solinst) were deployed in two USGS study marshes (Mad River marsh and Hookton marsh) located in Humboldt Bay, CA. The loggers were placed as low in the tide frame as possible, while still maintaining access to the sensors at low tide. Sensors captured high tide water levels; but sensor elevation was too high to capture low tide water levels. Continuous measurements were collected on a 6-minute timestep. Sensor elevations were surveyed using Real-Time Kinematic GPS (Leica GS-15, Leica Geosystems, Norcross,...

In 2018, shallow sediment cores were collected in five USGS study marshes located in Humboldt Bay, CA. The cores were collected within 2 m of the marsh edge to characterize carbon storage in areas susceptible to marsh edge erosion Two sediment cores were collected in each of the five study marshes (Mad River, Manila, Jacoby, White, Hookton) using an Ejkelkamp peat sampler (52 mm diameter). The sampler was pounded in the sediments with a heavy plastic mallet. This method produces little to no compaction because once inserted, the corer is rotated 180°, and a sample is collected adjacent to where it was driven into...
