The wavelength and height of wave generated ripples can be more accurately predicted with the method developed in the new manuscript, available at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2022.105509.

The soil core (top) was collected from Bass Creek, Yarmouth, MA, which was restored in 2008. From this soil core, scientists recreated the elevation of the marsh surface over the past 100 years, as well as how quickly elevation changed.
