| Houston Environmental Foresight |
The Science Panel was appointed in early 1994 by the Houston Advanced Research Center as an independent advisory panel to the Foresight Committee. The Science Panel assessed current environmental risks in the Houston region and presented its findings in Houston Environment 1995 ( 2.65 MB).

The Science Panel established three subpanels to consider environmental risk from different scientific perspectives; Ecosystems Subpanel, Health Subpanel, and Socioeconomical Subpanel. The Science Panel appointed members to the subpanels in early 1994 and added additional members as needs became apparent. No perspective which requested inclusion was refused. Scientists and experts from within the region were appointed to the subpanels based on their scientific credibility within their specialty. About ninety subpanel members have brought Houston's best thinking, methods, and data to bear on identified environmental issues. Ultimately, however, the data and analysis have been interpreted by the informed judgment of panel members.
Ecosystems Subpanel
Ecosystems Subpanel members were appointed by the Science Panel. The initial membership was approved in early 1994 after consultation with a wide range of community organizations and elected officials. Its responsibility was to analyze environmental issues from the perspective of environmental risks to the region's ecosystems.
