Introducing Field Notes: Official Newsletter of the Bureau of Economic Geology!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Field Notes, the Bureau’s new biannual publication. Each issue features innovative studies, practical solutions, and forward-thinking perspectives that shape the future of resources in Texas and beyond.

Topics span the full breadth of the Bureau’s work—from water and energy research to environmental stewardship, resource sustainability, and the critical role of the subsurface in modern society.

The inaugural issue, Water and the Lone Star State, focuses squarely on water, showcasing the work of the Bureau’s Texas Applied Water Research team. We delve into why water matters to everyone, whether it’s filling your glass, flooding your streets, or not there at all.

Highlights in this issue include: uncovering the inner workings of our water systems and the reality of regional droughts in the Texas Hill Country; a look at the science of Hurricane Helene; and an overview of the experts behind this life-changing work.
