Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone - Chapter 213 Rules. TSMS Version

Description: This report amends and updates the geographic areas that are regulated under the Edwards Aquifer Protection Program in Texas. Using Digital Geospatial Metadata, a GIS layer is added to reflect the changes in land boundaries and the re-designation of areas as transition zones, contributing zones, and recharge zones; the result will serve as a replacement for hard copy maps of the area.

Feasibility of Using Remote-Sensing Techniques for Shoreline Delineation and Coastal Habitat Classification for Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Mapping

Description: Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) provides shoreline classification and a sensitivity ranking that is important for oil spill planning. This system has not been used in Louisiana due to the rapid changes of the shoreline, which is a potential threat due to high risk of oil spill in that region. This research paper's goal is to develop remote sensing classification procedures to create an ESI map for Louisiana and other areas that present similar issues.
