The Center for Texas Beaches and Shores (CTBS) at Texas A&M University at Galveston was established in 1993 by the Texas Legislature to address beach erosion and wetlands loss throughout the state. CTBS is dedicated to the conservation and protection of the Texas shoreline, bays and waterways through innovative research in cooperation with government and private sector agencies. Our focus is to develop comprehensive, holistic approaches to Texas coastal research and restoration solutions while incorporating natural, economic and political processes.

Mobley, William, 2022, "Output for Probability of Rescue Requests from Twitter", https://doi.org/10.18738/T8/OOJL5D, Texas Data Repository, V1
Rescue requests during large-scale urban flood disasters can be difficult to validate and prioritize. High-resolution aerial imagery is often unavailable or lacks the necessary geographic extent, making it difficult to obtain real-time information about where flooding is occurrin...

William Mobley, 2020, "Flood Hazard Modeling Output", https://doi.org/10.18738/T8/FVJFSW, Texas Data Repository, V3
The results from a flood hazard study using the Random Forest Classification method to predict the probability of flooding at 30-m resolution for a 30,523 km2 area. We generate flood hazard maps for twelve USGS 8-digit watersheds along the coast in southeast Texas.

William Mobley, 2020, "Replication Data for: Flood Hazard Modeling, TWI", https://doi.org/10.18738/T8/85LBLA, Texas Data Repository, V1
TWI is calculated by the following equation: TWI= Ln ((flow_accumulation * 900) + 1 )/(Tan((slope*π)/180 )) Where high values of TWI are associated with areas that are concave, low gradient areas where water often accumulates and pools making them more vulnerable to floods.
