Erik JohnsonTCBES Masters program
University of Hawaii at Hilo
Surface water metabolism potential of groundwater-fed near shore waters on the leeward coast
of the Island of Hawaii

Groundwater discharge
• Major source of freshwater to Leeward Hawaii
• Groundwater introduces nutrients– Nitrogen and phosphorus
• Nutrients stimulate productivity– algal blooms

Surface Water Metabolism (MET)
• MET= gross primary production (GPP) -respiration (RESP)
• GPP > RESP – Autotrophic– CO2 sink
• GPP < RESP– Heterotrophic– CO2 source

Hypotheses
• pMET higher within groundwater plumes– Groundwater introduces nutrients
• pMET higher in wet seasons– Higher nutrient concentrations

Study sites
• Kiholo Bay– Undeveloped
• Kaloko-Honokohau– Developed
• Well documented groundwater inputs
