- **Event Description**: A Conversation:  Water, Land, Life: Coastal Landscapes of the Karankawa People

Water • Land • Life explores the coastal landscapes of South Texas as living systems shaped by geology, ecology, and deep human presence. Through maps, shoreline reconstructions, and ecological models, this talk invites audiences to see how water and land structured the lifeways of the Karankawa people over thousands of years. The presentation emphasizes patterns—rivers, bays, barrier islands, and seasonal resources—that reveal a sophisticated mastery of coastal environments. The lecture is grounded in interdisciplinary scholarship, acknowledging both the limits of geology and its value in understanding place. Attendees will be invited to improve this presentation with active discussion - and hopefully come away with a renewed sense of how landscapes remember people, even where history has tried to erase them.

With over four decades of professional experience, his work bridges geology, coastal ecology, and public education, emphasizing place-based understanding of South Texas landscapes.
