Scientists have believed, is that the tidal wetlands found in estuaries might produce less methane—a potent greenhouse gas—as the increasing influx of seawater makes these habitats less hospitable to methane-producing microbes.

Despite significant advances in scientific tools and methods, the traditional, labor-intensive model of scientific research in materials discovery has seen little innovation.
