THE WOMEN’S FUND The Women’s Fund at Austin Community Foundation was founded in 2004 to focus on the needs of women and children in Central Texas. At the time, there was a lack of philanthropic support targeting the specific needs of women and children and no comprehensive data set tracking their well-being in our community. Since then, Women’s Fund investors have granted over $1.4 million to more than 60 local nonprofit programs, and in 2015, the Women’s Fund issued its first report, Stronger Women, Better Austin: A Status Report on Women & Children in Central Texas.

  • February 2021 Historical Winter Storm Event South-Central Texas
    Austin/San Antonio Weather Forecast Office WEATHER EVENT SUMMARY February 2021 Historical Winter Storm Event South-Central Texas 10-18 February 2021 A Snow-Covered Texas. GeoColor satellite image from the morning of 15 February, 2021. February 2021 South Central Texas Historical Winter Storm Event South-Central Texas Winter Storm Event February 10-18, 2021 Event Summary Overview An unprecedented and historical eight-day period of winter weather occurred between 10 February and 18 February across South-Central Texas. The first push of arctic air arrived in the area on 10 February, with the cold air dropping temperatures into the 20s and 30s across most of the area. The first of several frozen precipitation events occurred on the morning of 11 February where up to 0.75 inches of freezing rain accumulated on surfaces in Llano and Burnet Counties and 0.25-0.50 inches of freezing rain accumulated across the Austin metropolitan area with lesser amounts in portions of the Hill Country and New Braunfels area. For several days, the cold air mass remained in place across South-Central Texas, but a much colder air mass remained stationary across the Northern Plains. This record-breaking arctic air was able to finally move south into the region late on 14 February and into 15 February as a strong upper level low-pressure system moved through the Southern Plains. As this system moved through the region, snow began to fall and temperatures quickly fell into the single digits and teens. Most areas of South-Central Texas picked up at least an inch of snow with the highest amounts seen from Del Rio and Eagle Pass extending to the northeast into the Austin and San Antonio areas.

Box 1685, San Marcos, TX 78745 Kristina Tolman, Texas State University – San Marcos, 951 Aquarena Springs Drive, San Marcos, TX 78666 Abstract: Low-cost unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have recently gained increasing attention in natural resources management due to their versatility and demonstrated utility in collection of high-resolution, temporally-specific geospatial data. This study applied low-cost UAS to support the geospatial data needs of aquatic resources management projects in four Texas rivers. Specifically, a UAS was used to (1) map invasive salt cedar (multiple species in the genus Tamarix) that have degraded instream habitat conditions in the Pease River, (2) map instream meso-habitats and structural habitat features (e.g., boulders, woody debris) in the South Llano River as a baseline prior to watershed-scale habitat improvements, (3) map enduring pools in the Blanco River during drought conditions to guide smallmouth bass removal efforts, and (4) quantify river use by anglers in the Guadalupe River.

As of the 2010 U.S. Census, the MSA ranks No. 35 out of the top 50 largest MSAs in the nation. The MSA includes five counties: Williamson, Travis, Hays, Bastrop and Caldwell. Austin is the largest city in the region, the Travis County seat and capitol of Texas.1 Map 1: Location Austin is renowned for its attractiveness to young professionals seeking both cutting‐edge employment and a high quality of life. The Austin area is similar to Hillsborough County in terms of its population growth and demographic characteristics, its proximity to major universities, as well as its humid, subtropical climate; however, the Austin area was selected as a case study more for its differences. 1 Note: City of Austin is home to the Texas State Capitol, which employs approximately 150,000 employs statewide, although the majority work in the Central Texas region (Source: Texas State Auditor’s Office, Summary of the Texas State Workforce, FY 2006). 1 of 15 September 7, 2011 Uniquely, Austin area has capitalized on a quality of life ethos coupled with an economic development framework focused on attracting “location‐less” (e.g.
