| Mapping of Riparian Vegetation Research Objectives The efforts to study the riparian vegetation of the Lower Rio Grande Valley is a joint project between the University of Texas Pan American, the University of Texas at Austin Center for Space Research, and the University of Texas - San Antonio. With recent development of the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV), the amount of natural vegetation is thought to be declining. The purpose of this joint effort is to map the extent of the riparian vegetation and its changes over time. This will be done by using aerial videography (provided by USDA/Weslaco) and satellite imagery.
