Coastal environments, where terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems converge, represent unique habitats facilitating complex interactions of climate, hydrology, species and human management. They provide countless ecosystem services, significant carbon storage, and shoreline protection from erosion and flooding. The structure, function, and critical ecosystem services of coastal environments are extremely sensitive to changing environmental conditions resulting from climate-induced disturbances (e.g. storms, sea-level rise, eutrophication, invasive species, etc). This session aims to facilitate discussion of interactions among ecological, biogeochemical, hydrological, and geomorphological dynamics of coastal ecosystems across a variety of environments, from estuarine waters to coastal forests. We encourage contributions that detail recent advances in coastal research, using approaches such as data-model integration, interdisciplinary syntheses, and novel data analytic techniques (e.g., machine learning). We welcome submissions that span spatial and/or temporal scales, including those highlighting high-resolution, in-situ observations, mechanistic models, and/or experimental work on mechanism and drivers of coastal ecosystem structure and function.
