Two researchers conduct field measurements in a coastal marsh in Louisiana, alongside a screenshot of a Nature Communications article on wetland elevation change.

Studies suggest that 75% of Louisiana’s wetlands could drown by 2070. A boots-on-the-ground perspective reveals a more complex reality. Recent work from LSU scientists highlights how local conditions shape whether wetlands can keep pace with rising seas.
