The Summer 2026 special edition of the NRI Sourcebook highlights the mapping and geospatial analysis work of the Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute. This edition features data-rich maps created by NRI’s Geospatial Analysis Team, showcasing how visual tools help translate complex natural resource data into resources for research, planning, education and decision-making.
Inside, readers will find maps connected to Texas working lands, population growth, renewable energy, wildlife research, military conservation planning, water resources, ecosystem services, historic landscapes and more. Together, these examples show how geospatial analysis supports NRI’s applied research and partnership-driven work across Texas and beyond.
Many of the maps featured in this edition are also available through the NRI Map Store.
