Shallow coastal waters serve an important role as long-term carbon (C) sinks because they capture terrestrial C
and retain internally produced C in wetlands and sediments. We show that tropical cyclones (TCs) can lead to
rapid CO₂ efflux from estuaries, driven by physical and biogeochemical perturbation of these coastal C...
