Flood tidal deltas
FitzGerald et al. 2012
Flood tidal delta - Accumulation of sand on the shoreward side of an inlet
Maintained by flood currents

Why San Luis Pass?
Modified Texas General Land Office
• One of few natural tidal deltas
in Texas
• Migrating westward flood
delta
• San Luis Pass (SLP) tidal delta
is the primary sink for most of
the sand eroded from updrift
parts of Galveston Island

Hurricane Harvey
• Formed: August 17, 2017
• Dissipated: September 3, 2017
• Hit Texas August 25-28, 2017
• It was the first major hurricane to make landfall in the United States since Wilma in 2005
• Hurricane Harvey dumped more than 40 inches of precipitation in some areas of the southeastern Texas and neighboring states.

• Grain Size• Erosion from the storm
moved sands out offshore
• Finer sediments carried by water run off coming from the land
• Water Depth • Harvey erosion • Maybe subsidence
related to Harvey flexed Earth’s crust

"Soil, Sediment, & Silt" Working Group: Sediment Budget through the drainage basin
Overwhelming message:• Erosion and sedimentation
episodic• Daily processes cannot
account for total budget

Galveston Bay Anthropogenic Estuary – Toxic Heavy Metals
Dr. Jessica Fitzsimmons
• Clear heavy metal lead source from Hurricane Harvey from the Trinity River. Not quite toxic levels but >10x normal concentrations at equivalently low salinity.
• Lead is a dangerous neurotoxin, with anthropogenic industrial sources.
• Where did the lead come from during Harvey? Did it end up in the sediments? On what timescale? How can we prevent this contamination of our backyard waters from happening in a future flood event?
