Galveston, TX

The Joint Penrose/Chapman Conference, “Coastal Processes and Environments Under Sea-Level Rise and Changing Climate: Science to Inform Management” in Galveston, TX April 15-19 was likely the best meeting we have ever attended.  Every talk was on a topic that we were interested in and all were relevant to the theme of the conference.  Galveston has almost completely rebuilt after Hurricane Ike (2008).  To the left (top) is a photo of Alex Simms, Anna Jalowska, Davin Wallace, Fernando Siringan, and Ethan Theuerkauf (left to right) pointing out the high-water mark left after Ike near the Strand.  We went on a field trip to the Brazos Delta, Follets Island, and Galveston Island.  Tony had his photo taken with John Anderson at San Louis Pass.  It is always fun spending time with John and listening to his stories.
