Bays in Peril: A Forecast for Freshwater Flows to Texas Estuaries
Takes a look at increasing water demands in Texas, and what would happen to the inflows to the seven major estuaries if existing water permits were fully used and wastewater reuse increased. Provides recommendations for action

Sudbury Igneous Complex: Impact melt or igneous rock? Implications for lunar magmatism
The recent suggestion that the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) is a fractionated impact melt may have profound implications for understanding the lunar crust and the magmatic history of the Moon. A cornerstone of much current thought on the Moon is that the development of the lunar crust can be traced through the lineage of 'pristine' igneous rocks. However, if rocks closely resembling those from layered igneous intrusions can be produced by differentiation of a large impact melt sheet, then much of what is thought to be known about the Moon may be called into question. This paper presents a brief evaluation of the SIC as a differentiated impact melt vs. endogenous igneous magma and possible implications for the magmatic history of the lunar crust
Wave drag due to lift for transonic airplanes
Lift dominated pointed aircraft configurations are considered in the transonic range. These are treated as lifting wings of zero thickness with an aspect ratio of order one. An inner expansion which starts as Jones' theory is matched to a nonlinear outer transonic theory as in Barnwell's earlier work. Expressions for the wave drag due to the equivalent body are derived. Some examples of numerical calculations for different configurations are presented
