Zulimar Lucena
Zulimar Lucena is a Supervisory Hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center. As the Water-Quality Section Chief in the Gulf Coast Branch, she oversees a water-quality program and leads a team of scientists focused on water-quality and sediment data collection and investigations.
Zulimar began her career at the USGS in 2014 as a Hydrologist and has since directed various studies on water quality and sediment across diverse aquatic environments, including rivers, lakes, and estuaries. Studies led by Zulimar include evaluations of microplastics in aquatic environments and long-term, watershed scale monitoring projects that use both continuous and discrete sediment and water quality data. The projects help support resource managers in making informed decisions regarding water supply operations. Additionally, she has conducted investigations using single frequency acoustics to compute suspended-sediment concentrations and loads entering bays and estuaries to support environmental flows and hydrodynamic models.
Science and Products
Microplastics in Tributaries to Galveston Bay
Galveston Bay is the habitat of many organisms including many species of oysters, fish, and birds. USGS scientists from the Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center are conducting a study, in cooperation with the Galveston Bay Estuary Program, to assess the occurrence and abundance of microplastics (plastic particles smaller than 5 mm in diameter) in Galveston Bay and its tributaries.
Sediment Acoustics
The U.S. Geological Survey recognizes the need to provide sediment acoustic training and to develop standardized techniques and practices.
Water-Quality Monitoring of the Lake Houston Watershed
Real-time water-quality, streamflow and water height information for Lake Houston and the surrounding San Jacinto watershed are now available from a new web application from the U.S. Geological Survey, done in cooperation with the City of Houston.
Nutrient and Sediment Variability in the Lower San Jacinto River
The San Jacinto River is the second largest inflow into Galveston Bay. The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center collects water-quality samples in the lower reaches of the San Jacinto River over a range of hydrologic conditions to improve our understanding of the variability of nutrient and sediment concentrations in freshwater inflows from the San Jacinto River into Galveston Bay.
Nutrient and Sediment Monitoring in Inflows to Texas Bays and Estuaries
The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center is evaluating the variability of nutrient and sediment concentrations and loads entering Texas bays and estuaries across a range of hydrologic conditions in Galveston Bay (inflow from the Trinity and San Jacinto Rivers), Matagordo Bay (inflow from the Colorado River), San Antonio Bay (inflow from the Guadalupe River), and Nueces Bay (inflow from Nueces...
