- Fort
Hood Watershed Analysis - Database for three catchment
basins at Fort Hood, TX. The database
includes real-time data acquisition from remote stream sensors
for wind speed, direction, soil moisture, stream turbidity,
etc. Data collected will be used for real-time stream monitoring
and flood event analysis.

- Environmental
Technology Database - Development of a comprehensive
survey of environmental cleanup and remediation technologies
and applications.

- Webmap
and Land Management System Integration -
Development and integration of real-time, field-monitoring
data, Land Information Systems data, and environmental data
for dissemination via a web-based GIS
system. Special applications of the web map include fire
prediction, dig permitting, and ecological impact.

- Mechanism
for Landscape Change, 29 Palms Marine Base, CA - This
project involves determining the relative and historical
contributions that very rare flash floods versus wind processes
have on the sediment deposits of the military training base.
The focus includes the study of canyons, alluvial fans,
and the analysis of environmentally focused management practices
by the military. Remotely sensed satellite data, the use
of 3-D analysis tools and GIS
functionality are used in this project.

- Road,
Bridge and Culvert Maintenance Database for Walker County,
TX - Development of a database for tracking maintenance
on county roads, bridges and culverts. This database utilizes
GPS technologies and is
integrated into existing GIS databases at Walker County.

Research Projects
- Dr.
Jack Turner: Bighorn Sheep Habitat Model for Southern
California - Development of a habitat model for the
endangered Bighorn Sheep in Southern California. GIS
data layers include vegetation, radio telemetry data, elevations,
and slope and aspect analysis. Analysis is to use GIS database
to determine likely sites for spring lambing.

Dr. Christopher
Baldwin: Development of a Watershed Modeling System
at Lake Conroe - Data layers include use of USGS DEM,
satellite data, land use/land cover, and remote sensing
technologies. Change detection methods are implemented to
model historic land use changes in the watershed.
- Dr.
Dianne Bates - Analysis of Urban Sprawl through
the use of satellite data and change detection methodologies
for Harris, Montgomery, San Jacinto, and Walker Counties.

- John
Barrera - Assist Doctoral of Education Candidate in the
Use of GIS for Analysis. Survey of K-12 schools
in Texas. Analysis looks at comparison of survey data of
Hispanic bilingual education programs and 1990 - 2000 demographic
changes in Census 2000 data.
