Does anyone out there have, or know anyone who may have, any salinity readings from the Katrina flood waters?
I am leading a study that focuses on global warming and sea-level rise and the effects of flooding and storm surges on the ecophysiology of bottomland forests and salt marshes around New Orleans. Having actual salinity levels from the Katrina flood will give us a realistic starting point for the salinity variable in our experiments. Any data would be extremely helpful.
