WGSC cloud-based tidal marsh biomass mapping tool

By Western Geographic Science Center November 26, 2025

NOAA has published a news item about a new WGSC cloud-based tidal marsh biomass mapping tool developed by Winston Cheang and Kristin Byrd.

Supported as part of the USGS/NOAA Coastal Ecosystem Prediction System (CEPS) project, the tool exemplifies the power of federal interagency collaboration to deliver science-driven solutions. By linking large-scale satellite datasets with real-time marsh conditions, the tool enables more accurate projections of how coastal marshes may change in the future.
