AT: Texas Waters Specialist Study Group – Ch. 6 & 8
June 19, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Virtual
The Texas Waters Specialist study group will be having a discussion session on Monday, June 19 covering Ch. 6 – “The Role and Function of Wetlands and Estuarine Systems” and Ch. 8 – “Human Caused Instruments of Watershed Change”
Topics that we’ll be discussing include:
- What functions do wetlands perform?
- How do wetlands affect water quality?
- Can wetlands help mitigate floodwaters?
- Since many instruments of watershed change are natural, could human-induced changes really be that harmful, or would ecosystems simply adapt to our modifications?
- What are the distinguishing factors that result from the difference between natural change processes and those that are human caused?
- Many human caused change processes have resulted from our attempts to control or manage natural change. How many can you name?
