Item Galveston Bay Water Quality Study -- Historical and Recent Data(University of Texas at Austin, 1964-03-01) Gloyna, E.F.; Malina, J.F. Jr.Item Galveston Bay Water Quality Study -- Historical and Recent Data(University of Texas at Austin, 1964-03-01) Gloyna, E.F.; Malina, J.F. Jr.Item High School Beach Monitoring Program: A Pilot Project in Education, Public Awareness, and Coastal Mangagement - Ball High School, Galveston, Texas, 1997/1998(1999) Gibeaut, James; Gutiérrez, Roberto, 1951-; Kirkland, Brenda L.The Texas Coastal Monitoring Program engages people who live along the coast in the study of their natural environment. High school students, teachers, and scientists work together to gain a better understanding of dune and beach dynamics on the Texas coast. Scientists from The University of Texas at Austin (UT) provide the tools and training needed for scientific investigation. Students and teachers learn how to measure the topography, map the vegetation line and shoreline, and observe weather and wave conditions. By participating in an actual research project, the students obtain an enhanced science education. Public awareness of coastal processes and the Texas Coastal Management Program is heightened through this program. The students' efforts also provide coastal communities with valuable data on their changing shoreline. This report describes the program and our experiences during the pilot year at Ball High School on Galveston Island, Texas (Fig. 1). Discussions of the data collected by the students and recommendations for future high school projects are also included. A manual with detailed field procedures, field forms, classroom exercises, and teaching materials was prepared during the first year. A full-color poster describing the project is also available.Item High School Coastal Monitoring Program Year 2: A Pilot Project in Education, Public Awareness, and Coastal Mangagement - Ball High School, Galveston, Texas, 1998/1999(1999) Gibeaut, James; Gutiérrez, Roberto, 1951-; Agbe, A.The Texas Coastal Monitoring Program engages people who live along the coast in the study of their natural environment.

(Eugene Campbell), 1874-1956Item Hydrology of Gulf Coast Aquifers, Houston-Galveston Area, Texas(1977) Kreitler, Charles W.; Guevara, Edgar H.; Granata, G.; McKalips, Dawn G.Aquifers in the Houston-Galveston area are composed principally of fluvial-deltaic sediments. The Alta Loma Sand is a complexly faulted, high-sand-percent unit that represents a seaward progression of fluvial, delta-plain, and delta-front facies. The Beaumont Formation, overlying the Alta Loma Sand, is a high-mud-percent unit that represents a coastal progression of delta-plain to delta-front facies. Four arbitrarily defined intervals from land surface to 2000 ft indicate the superposition of dip-oriented and strike-oriented high-sand-percent trends. Aquifer geology partly controls short-term and long-term aquifer hydrology. Dip-oriented high-sand-percent trends are optimum locations for ground-water development. Growth faults act as partial hydrologic barriers to ground-water production. Faults between Harris and Galveston Counties have partly isolated the aquifers into two subsystems. In Harris County, groundwater of low dissolved solids is meteoric in origin, whereas in Galveston County, groundwater of low dissolved solids is a mixture of meteoric and saline waters.Item Letter to Department of Mollusca from H.B.

In particular, I focus on the implications for low- and middle-income communities. To develop recommendations, I conducted case study research on the approaches to resilience planning taken by the Netherlands and by the City of New Orleans, Louisiana. The case of the Netherlands was used because it is often presented as an exemplar of planning for environmental resilience, particularly in the face of flooding. The case of New Orleans was selected due to its experience responding to challenges similar to those confronting Galveston: in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans struggled to remain accessible to long-time residents, many with low to moderate incomes, while also becoming more resilient to environmental threats. Lessons from these cases were used to develop recommendations for the City of Galveston. Primary recommendations include placing greater emphasis on retaining housing for low and moderate income residents, on ensuring ongoing access to jobs for these residents, and for adapting housing to coastal environmental conditionsItem Survey of Galveston Public Schools-Section I.
