dc.description.abstractLittle is known about how climatic events (i.e., drought) inhibit or enhance movement of petroleum hydrocarbon laden sediments in estuarine systems and how this in turn effects the macrobenthic populations exposed to these sediments. Seventeen collection stations were established and monitored at New Bayou, Texas, a small gradient estuary which receives petroleum products via oil/gas field produced water discharge. Hydrographic, geologic and biotic samples were taken monthly from each station during a period of reduced rainfall. Data was evaluated on temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, sediment grain sizes, sediment hydrocarbon concentrations, and abundance and diversity of macrobenthic species.en_US
