Surface elevation table measurements at five tidal marshes across the San Francisco Bay-Delta (2016-2019)

Description

Surface elevation tables with marker horizons (SET-MH) measure millimeter-scale changes in elevation over time. A combination of pin measurements (elevation change) and surface deposition measurements (marker horizon) is used to distinguish elevation changes due to belowground and aboveground processes. SET-MHs were installed in 2016 and were measured quarterly across five tidal marshes (Petaluma marsh, San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Rush Ranch, Browns Island, and Miners Slough).
