Item 2016 Texas Water Roadmap Forum(RCN CE3SAR, 2016-11-29) Texas Water Development BoardThe forum will bring together Texans from diverse technical, academic, research, management, and business backgrounds in water to participate in the third in a series of water roadmaps facilitated by RCN-CE3SAR.Item Item Agenda(2014-11-19) Xu, HongItem Agenda(RCN CE3SAR, 2015-12-11) Xu, HongItem Benefiting Government, Industry and the Public through Innovative Science and Technology(2012-10-11) Patrick, WesleyAn introduction to the Southwest Research Institute.Item Benefits of RCN CE3SAR Partnerships(2015-12-11) Lyle, CynthiaItem Build and Broaden: Bridging Critical Research Collaborations for Faculty Success in Texas MSIs - Being a Resilient Researcher at Mid-Career Webinar Series (Spring 2021)(2021) Araiza, Isabel; Epley Sanders, Jennifer; Ramirez, Michael; Fitzgerald, ColleenThe state of Texas has more minority-serving institutions (MSI) than any state other than California. The state's pressing priorities mimic many at the national level, such as a need for greater inclusion at all levels of the scientific enterprise. While the National Science Foundation (NSF) has identified many effective strategies to demystify the grants process, funding rates at MSIs still lag behind other institutions with fewer students of color, including in the social, behavioral, and economic (SBE) sciences. In turn, this means MSI students have fewer opportunities to participate in research or to acquire cutting edge scientific techniques, the kinds of experiences that increase options for career paths and advanced education. This grant funds three mini-conferences for MSI faculty in Texas, with a focus on participation by faculty of color, women faculty, and mid-career faculty. The mini-conferences will feature presentations by former NSF staff and other faculty who bring expertise in navigating different career pathways, including at MSIs. Through the events, faculty at MSIs will learn more about NSF grant proposals and research collaborations and will have access to on-site mentorship and collaboration opportunities. The conference organizers also plan to collect survey data on the career pathways of participating faculty in the SBE sciences at these institutions, with an eye towards better understanding how to support research capacity, especially for collaborations. As a result, a larger pool of faculty at MSIs will share an understanding of NSF proposals and fellow SBE researchers in the region. Increased attention to SBE research and funding in the state of Texas will advance fundamental knowledge in the SBE disciplines, highlighting the value of SBE research in a state which receives roughly 90% of its funding in the non-SBE disciplines, according to figures from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.Item Cameron County Storm Surge(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Tobin, KennethCameron County Storm Surge. SLOSH model results for Cameron County, Texas (Brownsville) showing inundation from storm surge associated with a category 1 to 5 hurricane.Item CE3SAR Graduate Student Research Experience 2014(Southwest Research Institute, 2014-03)Introduction to the RCN CE3SAR Graduate Student Research Experience and Externship,Item CE3SAR: A General Overview(RCN CE3SAR, 2012-05-23) Cifuentes, LuisThis PowerPoint presentation is an introduction to the research coordination network for climate, energy, environment and engagement in semiarid regions (RCN CE3SAR). It introduces the project’s goals, importance to South Texas, focuses, expected five-year outcomes, and activities.Item Chapter 10: Wetlands(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphWetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, and home to many specially adapted plant and wildlife species. Wetlands provide many important benefits to people, fish, and wildlife.Item Chapter 11: Bays and Estuaries(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphTexas bays and estuaries provide vital ecosystems and nursery habitat for many important Gulf species, feeding and resting places for migrating birds, and billions of dollars to the Texas economy.Item Chapter 12: Oceans: The Gulf of Mexico(2016-01) Rosen, RudolphThe Gulf of Mexico is one of the most productive waters in the world, and it is among the most threatened by human actions and neglect.Item Chapter 13: Water for People and the Environment(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, Rudolphne of the greatest challenges facing Texas is balancing the water needs of people with the needs of our environment. We are all connected by water, and how much usable water we have for the future will depend on what we do to conserve water today.Item Chapter 1: Water is Life(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphWater has properties that make it essential to life. And although the earth is known as “the water planet,” it has limited quantities of available freshwater.Item Chapter 2: Water: The Ultimate Recyclable(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphThe earth’s water is one, finite supply that moves from streams to lakes to oceans, flowing underground, freezing on mountaintops and forming the clouds we see in the sky. All this moving and shifting around of water is one of the largest recycling efforts by mother nature, called the hydrologic cycle and is the driving force behind our weather.Item Chapter 3: What’s Your Watershed Address?(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphEveryone lives in a watershed. Everything that happens on the land affects the water in that watershed.Item Chapter 4: Living in Water(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphAll aquatic species, including fish and other aquatic animals, are uniquely adapted to life in or around water.Item Chapter 5: From Sun to Sunfish(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphAquatic habitats are communities in which complex interactions take place among populations and individual organisms as they compete for limited resources in an interdependent web of relationships.Item Chapter 6: Texas Aquatic Ecosystems(RCN CE3SAR project, 2016-01) Rosen, RudolphEcosystems are complex interdependent webs of relationships between living and nonliving things. Texas has six kinds of aquatic ecosystem supporting significant biodiversity.
