Tracking Wetland Change: A Satellite Framework for Coastal Resilience

The Coastal Bend of Texas has lost 193 square kilometers of wetlands since 1984, a 17% decline that accelerated sharply between 2008 and 2016. That is not a distant problem; it is a measurable transformation happening now. The study's tools, WET-MUD and WHAMS, turn satellite records into actionable intelligence, distinguishing wetland extent from wetland health with 93% overall accuracy. This framework matters because it makes long-term monitoring reproducible elsewhere, turning raw data into a practical defense for vulnerable coastlines. Understanding drives protection.
