This study has been motivated by the issue of marsh loss in Jamaica Bay, New York. A deficit in sediment supply has been implicated as a factor in the dramatic marsh loss in the bay, and we have used particle-reactive natural radionuclides as tracers for the transport and deposition of particles in the bay.
