The User Support for Space Research programme enables researchers to utilize international research facilities in space. This initiative focuses on developing methods to quantify long-term trends, such as the seaward extent of saltmarshes using satellite imagery, and mapping changes in inundation frequency. The research provides insights into the balance of processes in tidal areas and the feedback mechanisms of saltmarshes and their environments, ultimately informing coastal managers.
