Hann, Jr., who heads the University’s Estu ary Systems Research group based at Morgan’s Point. The sampling cruise planned for next week will include Sabine Lake and the Neches and Sabine rivers in the areas of Beaumont, Orange, and Port Arthur, and the intracoastal waterway from Port Arthur to Galveston, Hann said. :§ 3111k. NMOU nnuuiuis *»■* TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY OV* IWWSfSttNG DEPARTMENT excetulfct The 55-foot floating laboratory is scheduled to sample the intra coastal from Galveston to Free port later in the month, stopping at Chocolate Bayou en route. The researchers will also spend one day in the Brazos River and one day in the San Bernard, then continue to Matagorda Bay and the Colorado. A tentative September run will continue the intracoastal survey to Corpus Christi. All of the sampling will he repeated at ap proximate three-month intervals. “On these cruises we will make continuous surface profiles for temperature, salinity, and dis solved oxygen,” Hann said. He indicated that measurements throughout the depth would be made to two or four-mile incre ments and that bottom mud and various water samples would be collected for laboratory analysis. the electronic monitoring equip ment, and the other two are equipped for continuous sample collection, wet chemistry analysis, A&M researchers present papers Amounts of organic materials, nutrients, and heavy metals, such as iron, lead, copper cadmium, and mercury, will be determined. The data will be used in the development and verficiation of mathematical models which pre dict expected water quality to be used by agencies in making management decisions, Hann con tinued. Hann calls the EXCELLENCE, equipped with $50,000 worth of electronic sampling gear, the finest water quality research craft operated by any university.

Cater, director of the Oilseed Products Research Center, will present two papers at the Third International Congress of Food Science and Technology being held August 9- 14 at Washington, D. C. “Preparation and Characteriza tion of Coconut Protein Isolates” was written by Antonio S. Samp son, Cater, and Mattil. “A Method for the Prepartion of a Colorless Sunflower Protein Isolate” was co-authored by S. Gheyasuddin. and total organic carbon determi nation. Surface testing is done at cruising speeds to 15 knots. “The aim of the Texas A&M program, which started in 1966, is to develop techniques for de termining how much waste can be tolerated without violating desired quality criteria. We are considering such questions as how waste materials react in the water, which materials settle to the bottom, which return from the bottom to overlying water, and how wastes are transported by fresh water inflows, tidal ac tion, salinity density currents, wind, and other forces.” The training of graduate stu dents for future work with con sulting firms, industry, and state and local agencies is considered an important phase of the work. Hann’s research group operates as a part of the Environmental Engineering Division of Texas A&M’s Civil Engineering Depart ment. Funds totaling approxi mately $700,000 have come from the Federal Water Pollution Con trol Administration, the National Science Foundation Sea Grant Program, other federal water quality control programs, and the Texas Engineering Experiment Station on a matching grant basis.
