Dissolved and particulate organic carbon, suspended particulate matter concentrations, and their optical proxies colored dissolved organic matter absorption and backscattering coefficients were studied in Galveston Bay, Texas, following the extreme flooding of Houston and surrounding areas due to Hurricane Harvey (25-29 August 2017) using field and ocean color observations. A three-step empirical-semianalytic algorithm for determination of colored dissolved organic matter absorption and backscattering coefficients revealed the dynamics of dissolved organic carbon and particle distribution from Visible and Infrared Imaging Radiometric Suite ocean color. Environmental drivers, especially floodwater discharge and winds, strongly influenced the spatiotemporal distribution of dissolved/particulate material in the bay and shelf waters following the hurricane passage. Over 10 days during/following the hurricane, ~25.2 × 10 kg C of total organic carbon and ~314.7 × 10 kg of suspended particulate matter were rapidly exported from Galveston Bay (representing ~0.65% and 0.27% of respective annual Mississippi River fluxes to the Gulf of Mexico), with potential for ecological impacts to shelf waters.

Article Synopsis
  • Glioma resection prioritizes removing tumors while maintaining neurological function, with neuronavigation systems enhancing precision in this surgery through advanced imaging techniques.
  • This systematic review of studies from 2012 to 2023 highlights that combining neuronavigation with intraoperative imaging significantly boosts tumor resection success rates but does not always shorten surgery time or guarantee long-term survival benefits.
  • Conclusions emphasize the importance of ongoing research to improve these technologies, making them more cost-effective and effective for enhancing surgical outcomes and training for medical professionals.

Electronic address:

Objective: Percutaneous deep venous arterialisation (pDVA) is a state of the art technique for treating patients with chronic limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI) with no conventional option for revascularisation. There are limited large scale data examining the clinical effectiveness of pDVA for patients with end stage CLTI.

In 2022, Houston, TX became a nexus for field campaigns aiming to further our understanding of the feedbacks between convective clouds, aerosols and atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) properties. Houston's proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay motivated the collection of spatially distributed observations to disentangle coastal and urban processes. This paper presents a value-added ABL dataset derived from observations collected by eight research teams over 46 days between 2 June - 18 September 2022.
