Lecture – Texas’ Own Coral Reefs: Weathering the Storm by Adrienne Correa
Hurricane Harvey dumped 13 trillion gallons of rain on southeast Texas in August of 2017. Do extreme storm events like Harvey impact the coral reefs off Texas’ coast in the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary? Dr. Correa shares ongoing research connecting the Gulf Coast, extreme weather, and reef ecosystems.
Dr. Adrienne Correa is Assistant Professor in the BioSciences Department at Rice University.

A garden that conserves precious water resources is a rewarding investment. Keeping water on our property is good for our gardens, as well as the health of the city’s water supply. Through micro or low volume irrigation, we can eliminate water runoff into the street and water more deeply for healthier root systems. This class will teach design, installation and maintenance of drip and micro-spray systems.
Instructor Angela Chandler teaches several popular classes for Urban Harvest.
