Historical monitoring along Mustang and north Padre Islands records the nature and magnitude of changes in position of the shoreline and vegetation line and provides insight into the factors affecting those changes.

Sequential shoreline monitoring, using vintage chans and aerial photographs, documents temporal and spatial variations in historical Gulf shoreline changes.

The Texas Coastal Zone is marked by diversity in geography, resources, climate, and industry.

Combining process and geomorphic description (supplied by studies of modern depositional systems) with the three-dimensional description of sedimentary units and their internal structures (accomplished in the stratigraphic record) produces an integrated facies model that can be applied to the int

Historical monitoring along Matagorda Island and San Jose Island records the nature and magnitude of changes in position of the shoreline and vegetation line and provides insight into the factors affecting those changes.

Disposal and temporary surface storage of spent geothermal fluids and surface subsidence and faulting are the major environmental problems that could arise from geopressured geothermal water production.

 Geologic map that depicts the  surface geology of Nueces County and parts of Jim Wells, San Patricio, Aransas, Kleberg, and Kenedy Counties.

Knowledge of the regional sand distribution and its relationship to formation temperature and pressure is a preliminary step in evaluating the geothermal resources of the Frio Formation.

The stratigraphic record yields evidence that each episode of clastic silicate deposition has been of limited duration and that each has been preceded and followed by a significant hiatus.
