See a video where HydroDesktop is used to describe the hydrology of Jacob's Well Spring. Texas. Tim Whiteaker, Research Associate at The University of Texas at Austin, narrates a 16 minute video that describes CUAHSI-HIS. Tim demonstrates the use of HydroDesktop to access, download, and analyze discharge and temperature time series data for the Jacob's Well Spring area. The video is available for viewing at

The Fall cyberseminar was a great success. Attendance at all the webinars was impressive and the presentations were well received and thought-provoking--judging by the oft-times extended Q&A sessions following the slide shows. We are already gearing up for the Spring 2011 semester of seminars. Further information will be forthcoming in future newsletters.
