Stability of a Tidal Marsh Under Very High Flow Velocities and Implications for Nature-Based Flood Defense

Nature-based strategies, such as wave attenuation by tidal marshes, are increasingly proposed as a complement to mitigate the risks of failure of engineered flood defense structures such as levees. However, recent analysis of historic coastal storms revealed smaller dike breach dimensions if there w...
