Beach erosion is a big problem, and it's getting worse thanks to climate change and overdevelopment. "[It's] not one variable that's causing the erosion problem, it's the synergy between the two," says Dr. Sam Brody, IDRT Director. cbsnews.com/miami/news/sou…

Congratulations to our friends at the Lamar Center for Resiliency on this new grant and on the great work they're doing to make Southeast Texas more resilient!

A team of researchers at Lamar University will be awarded $5M in grant funding to bolster the team's research on resiliency in SETX and the Greater Beaumont area. lamar.edu/news-and-event…



Gotta be resilient to be an astronaut. 😜

The outtakes of NASA astronauts trying to walk on the moon are amazing.



Can't wait to listen to this! As Prof. Katherine Hayhoe @KHayhoe says, "The most important thing you can do to fight climate change is to talk about it."

Coming next week: A new podcast from @thedragaudio, something a little different for us: “Planet Texas” open.spotify.com/episode/2fjLLz…
