Which outcome increases following severe storm surge overtopping engineered coastal barriers?

A)Enhanced landward salt marsh erosion
B)Decreased local sediment accommodation space
C)Increased regional groundwater table elevation
D)Diminished surface albedo seasonality effect

💡 Explanation

Saltwater intrusion from surge events accelerates inland erosion because vegetation is stressed by increased salinity via the process of salt weathering; therefore, salt marsh erosion increases, rather than groundwater changes, affecting albedo, or local capacity change alone.
