Title: Floyd's Carolina Floods - A Natural Disaster Becomes Research
Abstract: Hurricane Floyd churned the coastal waterways of North Carolina like a spoon in a mixing bowl. Following Floyd, record breaking rains continued to soak the area, washing mountains of sediment and waste into the water system. Now rivers and tributaries along the Atlantic are choked, and major ecological changes are happening. Levels of dissolved oxygen in the water have dropped dramatically as organic matter decomposes, and aquatic life is threatened in dozens of estuaries and peripheral habitats. For people who make their home in the region, the flood that began with Floyd was just the beginning. As illustrated in the following images, the changes to the area since the rainy season began will have lasting repercussions for hundreds of thousands of people.
