Our Team

Austin Bodin

I am a graduate student at Texas State University working towards my Masters of Applied Geography. My research interests include machine learning, stream ecology, and game theory. I like spending as much of my free time as possible outdoors and enjoy cycling, kayaking, and fishing.

Victor Galvan

I am an undergraduate student studying G.I.S. and minoring in Geology. Cartography, design, igneous processes, and entry-level coding are a few of my interests. In my free time I enjoy staying active by running and long walks outside as well as spending quality time with my loved ones.

The Project

Texas contains 3,700 named streams, fifteen major rivers, and more than 3,300 miles of coastal shoreline; seventy-one sections of these Texas waterways have been designated as Texas Paddling Trails which represent portions of water which are well-mapped, accessible, and easy enough to accommodate all skill levels of recreational paddlers. We have created an online dashboard which integrates trail descriptions and maps, current water conditions, and current weather information in a one-stop shop for Texas recreational paddlers looking to plan their next adventure
