Quantifying erosion and pollution from rainfall runoff on urbanized beaches - Galveston Island study

Summary

Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station researchers will study how coastal rainwater runoff affects beach erosion and solid transport processes in Galveston with the goal of collecting data to create sediment transport laws. This data will also help the GLO implement the Coastal NPS Pollution Program.
