Hurricane Harvey impacts on biogeochemistry of water assessed using samples collected in Mission-Aransas Estuary in south Texas from June 2017 to March 2019

Abstract

The impact of Hurricane Harvey on the chemical composition of water was assessed using samples collected from June 2017 to March 2019 at Mission-Aransas Estuary in south Texas. Hydrographic measurements including temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH were collected on site using a YSI sonde. Water samples were obtained from both surface and bottom depths at 19 sites, and later analyzed for dissolved nutrients, organic carbon and nitrogen, and pigments.
