Our monthly Austin Sierra Club meeting will be online via Zoom.

We’ll start off with Announcements on current events… Tonite’s main program is Texas’ Flood Peak Increases, with hydrologist Raymond Slade.

Raymond Slade has worked as a District Surface Water Specialist for the USGS. He has authored more than 70 reports on Texas water resources, with subjects including floods and droughts, hydrology of rural and urban watersheds, water quality of surface and groundwater, and the hydrology of the Edwards Aquifer. Slade has served as guest lecturer and on thesis and dissertation committees for several Texas universities and as a water-resources expert on technical and advisory committees for many federal and state agencies, city departments, river authorities, and water districts. Slade studied at Texas State University and UT Austin and is currently a part time professor and volunteer consultant.
