Description:
Abstract:
Using the Hydro-MEM (Hydrodynamic-Marsh Equilibrium Model) (Alizad and others, 2016a; 2016b), the wetlands system within the Apalachicola-Big-Bend (ABB) region of Florida (FL) was assessed using initial and three sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) (Sweet and others, 2017). The initial (init) scenario represents the present conditions in the year 2020. The intermediate-low (int-low) scenario projects 50 centimeters (cm) of SLR by 2100, the intermediate (int) scenario projects 1 meter (m) of SLR by 2100, and the intermediate-high (int-high) scenario projects 1.5 m of SLR by 2100. Hydro-MEM input data includes elevation, tidal forcings, river inflow, and field-collected parameters and couples a hydrodynamic and biological model to capture feedback processes in the wetland system. The model incorporates a spatially-varying marsh parabola parametrization and considers SLR-induced salinity intrusion proxy in the system (Alizad and others, 2022b). This data release (Alizad and others, 2022a) includes the initial and future conditions under three SLR scenarios and model outputs of marsh vegetation type. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output, refer to Alizad and others (2016a).
Purpose:
These data were generated for the assessment of marsh response to sea-level rise in the Apalachicola-Big-Bend region. This Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata record describes the marsh vegetation type modeled in the ABB region using Hydro-MEM (Alizad and others, 2022b). The data files included in this release (Alizad and others, 2022a) are published as Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) files and contain the initial and future marsh vegetation type (low-marsh, mid-marsh, high-marsh, mudflat, drowned forest, water) under the int-low, int, and int-high SLR scenarios. The intermediate-low data are published in 10-year increments from 2030 to 2100. The intermediate and intermediate-high data are published in 5-year increments from 2025 to 2100.
