SUMMARY:W3 Seminar: Human and climate-driven water quality challenges affec
 ting the Texas coast
DESCRIPTION:Michael Wetz\, Professor\, Department of Life Sciences\, Texas 
 A&amp\;M University-Corpus Christi \n\nAbstract: \nCoastal watersheds in T
 exas have experienced significant human population growth over the past se
 veral decades\, yet there have been no comprehensive assessments of water 
 quality trends in Texas estuaries. Here we synthesize results from analyse
 s of several long-term water quality monitoring programs to answer the que
 stion\, “How has water quality changed on the Texas coast?”. Results s
 how localized examples of both increasing and decreasing salinity due to l
 ong-term changes in freshwater inflows\, localized signatures of eutrophic
 ation in estuaries with urbanized or agricultural dominated watersheds\, a
 nd regional fecal bacterial pollution at both a local and regional scale. 
 With findings from this study\, targeted studies can now be directed at th
 e estuaries that are experiencing water quality degradation in order to el
 ucidate drivers and identify solutions. \n
