threaten wetlands' ability to keep pace with sea-level rise<br>
</b></font><font face="Verdana" size="-1" color="#1A1A1A">Left to
themselves, coastal wetlands can withstand rapid levels of sea-level
rise. But humans could be sabotaging some of their best defenses,
according to a Nature review paper published Thursday from from the
Virginia Institute of Marine Science and the Smithsonian Environmental
Research Center.<br>

the current special issue of Nature dedicated to coastal regions,
UMass Amherst geoscientist Woodruff, with co-authors Jennifer Irish of
Virginia Tech University and Suzana Camargo of Columbia University,
say, "Society must learn to live with a rapidly evolving
shoreline that is increasingly prone to flooding from tropical
cyclones."<br>
