(2018-05-09)Urban lotic surface waters have been extensively studied due to reported increases in their alkalization and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). However, urban lentic surface waters, which are subject to the same United States ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Previous work in the Gulf of Lions, France has suggested that significant amounts of sediment may be escaping through the western part of this tectonically passive margin, despite it being far-removed from the primary ...

(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The coastal wetlands at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge near Austwell, Texas, support the last migrating population of whooping cranes during the winter months (October through April). With a population currently at 216 ...
-
(2012-04-22)Military training lands are among the most degraded rangelands in the United States. Tracked vehicle training represents the largest source of soil disturbance on these rangelands (Fang et al. 2002). Training activities ...
-
(2013-09-25)The Flower Garden Banks consist of two salt domes raised above the continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico roughly 190 km southeast of Galveston, Texas. With mean annual temperature variations of 18 to 32°C and relatively ...
-
(2020-01-08)This study investigates the relative influences of rock properties (porosity, clay content, grain density, and water saturation) on sediment dewatering in the interests of improving understanding of soaking enhanced oil ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)This thesis examines the environmental conditions which led to the loss of 90% of the natural salt marsh in Galveston Island State Park since 1930 and analyzes one potential method to reduce future loss. Available data and ...

(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)During the growing seasons of 1999 and 2000 five experiments were performed to test growth of the seagrass Halodule beaudettei (shoal-grass) in nursery pond conditions. Sediment oxidation state, sediment source, container ...
-
(2015-11-09)In 2008, Hurricane Ike made landfall at Galveston Island, Texas, and caused significant impacts on the coastal environment. An assessment of the impact of Hurricane Ike on the shoreface and inner shelf sediments that occur ...
-
(2021-07-20)Since the 1950s, low-oxygen (hypoxic) conditions have developed in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GoM) due to increased nutrient flux from the Mississippi River. Despite the threat hypoxia poses to profitable fisheries and ...
-
(2009-05-15)Geophysical, geochemical and geotechnical methods were used to investigate the spatial and temporal aspects of sediment distribution, accumulation, post-depositional alterations, and seafloor response and recovery to major ...
-
(1979)Water and sediment samples taken from an area near the discharge of the Galveston Sewage Treatment Plant were analyzed for copper, nickel, lead and zinc. Two twenty-four hour sampling periods were conducted at four hour ...
-
(2012-02-14)The overall objective of the research presented here was to combine multiple geochemical parameters and molecular characterizations to provide a novel view of active microbial community ecology of sediments in a large-river ...
-
(2012-02-14)Meandering rivers and associated vegetation communities are highly dynamic systems that interact through various geomorphic and successional processes. However, much is still unknown about these interactions. Studies that ...
