This month we explore academic publications on the topics of climate change perceptions of secondary science teachers in a Blue state and a Red state, the effects of projected climate change and drought on water storage at 30 major reservoirs in Texas, and observed impacts of the pandemic—both good and bad—on the environment.

This month we explore academic publications on the topics of analyzing the relationship between bacterial pollution and sea level rise in the Gulf of Mexico, attributing human-induced changes in the magnitude of flooding in Houston during Hurricane Harvey, and building a replica of early Spanish explorer Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca’s raft from his expedition to North America in 1528. 

This month we explore academic publications on the topics of reviewing the effectiveness of groundwater management plans in the U.S., exploring results from a nationwide survey about Americans perspective on climate change, and examining the impact of the federal government delegating environmental policies to state agencies. 

This month we explore academic publications on the topics of investigating how verbal articulations intersect with resource use and action, examining the hurdles of implementing environmental flows policies, and exploring how the City of Wichita Falls became a water reuse pioneer.

This month we explore academic publications on the topics of motivations for citizen science program participation, an overview of Texas’ water availability models, and using probabilistic models to assess the relative risk that climate change poses to watershed-scale water resources.
