Two PIE researchers presented last week at the New England Estuarine Research Society 2023 meeting. Yuyang Wang, a Mount Holyoke undergraduate, gave a great talk about her MBL Semester in Environmental Science research project combining field data and modeling to look at competition between S. alterniflora and P. australis in PIE marshes. Jade Fiorilla, a PIE post-baccalaureate, presented an excellent poster describing her TIDE Project research using long term sediment elevation table data to investigate accretion rates and deposition events in salt marshes around Plum Island Sound, MA.
