studies since September, 1968,

who heads the University’s Estu

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Karl F. Mattil, director of
food products research for the
Texas Engineering Experiment
Station, and Dr. Carl M. 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-

“Preparation and Characteriza

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.
