  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Remote-sensing-based maps of tidal marshes, both of their extents and carbon stocks, will play a key role in conducting greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The U.N. Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre has produced a new Global Distribution of Salt Marsh dataset that estimates global salt marsh area at 5.5 Mha.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Tier 1–2 GHG Inventory of U.S. Coastal Wetlands has been developed using the NOAA Coastal-Change Analysis Program Landsat-based land cover maps as a primary dataset.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;180Successful mapping of tidal marsh biomass with optical satellite images provides opportunity to improve GHG Inventories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further work is needed to map tidal marsh salinity gradients, the extent of tidal vs. non-tidal marshes, methane emissions, and high-resolution elevation.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
