A field hydraulic data collection program was conducted in Galveston Bay from 12 July 1990 until 16 January 1991. During this period eight current meters, six water level recorders, six salinity meters, and one wind speed and direction recorder were deployed and maintained in the bay. The current meters recorded salinity in addition to current speed and direction, and four of the water level recorders also measured salinity. Approximately half the gages were maintained at the same location for the entire survey period, while the remaining gages were redeployed at new locations at the midpoint of the survey. This redeployment allowed different areas of the bay to be monitored. On 19-20 July 1990, intensive over-the-side measurements were made for a lunar day (25 hours) from five boats stationed along the Houston Ship Channel. From each boat, hourly vertical profiles were made at two to four stations. The vertical profiles consisted of current speed and water sample at five depths (three depths if water depth was less than 35 ft). The water samples were analyzed for salinity and total suspended matter. These data are to be used in the verification of numerical models of Galveston Bay and in increased understanding of the physical processes working in the bay. Appendix A presents the data collection equipment and laboratory analysis procedures, and Appendix B describes the Estuarine Boundary Layer Instrumentation System (EBIS).

Although underwater archaeology has assumed its rightful place as an important subdiscipline in the field, the published literature has not kept pace with the rapid increase in the number of both prehistoric and historic underwater sites. The editors have assembled an internationally distinguished roster of contributors to fill this gap. The book presents geographical and topical approaches, and focuses on technology, law, public and private institutional roles and goals, and the research and development of future technologies and public programs.

The Houston-Galveston Channel Project consists of about 65 miles of deepwater channels leading from the Gulf of Mexico to the Houston Turning Basin at the head of navigation and Galveston Channel, a side channel from Bolivar Roads to Galveston Harbor. The present channel dimensions are 400 ft wide and 40 ft deep at the mean low tide for most of the channel. The Galveston Channel is 1,125 ft wide and 40 ft deep at the mean low tide. This study used the TABS-MD numerical modeling system to simulate water levels and currents of different channel design conditions for Houston Galveston navigation channels. These hydrodynamic conditions were used in a separate ship simulator study. Water level measurements at six tide gages and velocity measurements taken during a 14-hr survey on 18-20 July 1990 at five current stations were used to verify the model. A different subset of water levels from 20-22 November 1990 were used to further verify the model. Galveston Bay, Hydrodynamic model, Navigation channel.
