Integrated Water Resources

International Watershed Studies

We are dedicated to the sustainable management of the world's freshwater resources. Our team leads multi-disciplinary research projects that result in integrated, ecosystem-based management practices that meet human needs and maintain ecological integrity. In doing so, we address scientific, technical, governance, economic, and social issues related to water.

UAS Program

The Texas State UAS program captures high-resolution, multispectral imagery that is geo-referenced. This information can be used to identify various environmental characteristics, or used in remote sensing analysis to support research questions relating to natural resource management.

Habitat Field Crew

The Meadows Center’s research staff have directed or assisted in numerous projects involving endangered species including monitoring and assessing the vegetation, invertebrate, and fish communities within the upper San Marcos River and developing instream flow recommendations for fountain darters and Texas Wild Rice utilizing hydraulic modeling data.
