Smithsonian researchers develop models to assess wetland health
Healthy wetlands perform vital ecological functions in a watershed. But assessing their condition and ability to perform those functions is not easy, especially as wetlands are disappearing fast due to human encroachment. view more (2007-09-17)
The Future of UK's Wetland Archaeology in the Balance
Two new research projects have highlighted the possible loss of whole swathes of uniquely well-preserved ancient settlements, trackways and ritual sites preserved in England's rich wetlands. Coinciding with World Wetlands Day 2002 (1), the work highlighted in this month's British Archaeology (2) magazine has demonstrated a litany of loss over the... view more... (2002-01-31)

Iraq's marshes show progress toward recovery
Reflooding of Iraq's destroyed Mesopotamian marshes since 2003 has resulted in a "remarkable rate of reestablishment" of native invertebrates, plants, fish, and birds, according to an article in the June issue of BioScience. view more (2006-05-31)
Planning for stewardship an important part of successful ecological restoration
Restoring degraded ecosystems around Seattle — and giving them a fighting chance to stay healthy — can be as much about PR as the right plants. That's what students learn through the University of Washington's Restoration Ecology Network, a program of teaching and research recognized nationally in this week's issue of Science magazine. view more (2006-06-30)
Frozen methane chunks not responsible for abrupt increases in atmospheric methane
Icy chunks of frozen methane and water are not responsible for the periodic increases in atmospheric methane recorded in Greenland ice cores. view more (2006-02-10)

New Study Fuels Louisiana Subsidence Controversy
While erosion and wetland loss are huge problems along Louisiana's coast, the basement 30 to 50 feet beneath much of the Mississippi Delta has been highly stable for the past 8000 years with negligible subsidence rates. view more (2006-07-24)
Reedbed technology for wastewater treatment:obtaining a better insight through modelling
Constructed wetlands: a green technology for integrated water management The quality of our Flemish surface waters has improved significant during the last decade. Nevertheless, in a densely populated area like Flanders we are still confronted with polluted surface water. The main reason for the current degree of pollution of our rivers and canals... view more... (2002-06-11)
