Niemi TM and Hall NT. 1996. Historical Changes in the Tidal Marsh of Tomales Bay and Olema Creek, Marin County, California. Journal of Coastal Research (JCR). 12(1):90-102
Compared historic and present-day maps to document changes in the tidal marsh at the head of Tomales Bay and the path of the Olema Creek. Found evidence that human activities have increased the sediment rate in the Bay and channeled the Olema Creek which used to frequently alter its path.
