The spread and cost of saltwater intrusion in the US Mid-Atlantic (IMAGE)
Caption
Pictured here is a farm with noticeably large salt patches. Once these salt patches become visible, that land and the land close to those salt patches, for all intents and purposes, is already unfit for growing certain crops. To help farms through the Delmarva region, the University of Delaware’s Pinki Mondal is part of a research team investigating the extent of these salt patches as well as their root causes.
