Lee Butler Donald Pritchard Susan Harvey William Queen Joy Bartholomew James Edmonson Suzanne Hawes Richard Sparks John Day David Chambers Foreward The Coastal Society held its 10th National Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana 12-15 October, 1986. The theme of the conference "Estuarine and Coastal Management - Tools of the Trade" reflects the maturation of estuarine and coastal management efforts in this country. In the early 1970's, the concept of land and water management in the critical coastal zone for the purpose of conserving coastal resources was in its infancy. Initially we were theorists developing new principles and practices as we went along. Much of our effort was expended delineating the area which we wished to influence through coastal management and defining and describing the resources and processes we needed to affect. We have come a long way since those early days. Our "profession" has matured. We have more confidence in what we wish to accomplish, and we have, through a complex combination of trial and error, careful planning and experimentation, serendipity and just plain luck, developed valuable knowledge and experience in how to manage coastal areas and resources. These proceedings reflect the increasing sophistication in our approaches to management, science and technology, and planning and regulation in the nation's coastal and estuarine areas. We hope that new practitioners of our professions find this compilation useful in guiding their work as they join us in coastal activities. A particularly interesting result of the Conference being held in New Orleans was the thorough discussions of the problems and the management approaches associated with the Mississippi drainage basin and Louisiana's extensive coastal marshes. This extensive review of the host region's problems and solutions expands the coverage of regional issues reflected in previous conference proceedings, reinforcing the desirablility of rotating conference sites to different coastal regions. I wish to thank those individuals that contributed to these Proceedings and to the success of the conference by attendance at the sessions, presentation of papers, and participation in discussions. I wish to acknowledge the effort of Ms. Karen L. McDonald who was instrumental in the successful planning and conduct of the Conference. I also wish to acknowledge the efforts of Ms. Susan Hiser, Ms. Heidi Leiffer, and Mr. Robert McCormack for their assistance in preparing these proceedings for publication. Maurice P.

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

TRANSIENT LUNAR PHENOMENA: REGULARITY AND REALITY Arlin P. S. Crotts Department of Astronomy, Columbia University, Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory, 550 West 120th Street, New York, NY 10027, USA Received 2007 June 27; accepted 2009 February 20; published 2009 April 30 ABSTRACT Transient lunar phenomena (TLPs) have been reported for centuries, but their nature is largely unsettled, and even their existence as a coherent phenomenon is controversial. Nonetheless, TLP data show regularities in the observations; a key question is whether this structure is imposed by processes tied to the lunar surface, or by terrestrial atmospheric or human observer effects. I interrogate an extensive catalog of TLPs to gauge how human factors determine the distribution of TLP reports. The sample is grouped according to variables which should produce differing results if determining factors involve humans, and not reflecting phenomena tied to the lunar surface. Features dependent on human factors can then be excluded. Regardless of how the sample is split, the results are similar: ∼50% of reports originate from near Aristarchus, ∼16% from Plato, ∼6% from recent, major impacts (Copernicus, Kepler, Tycho, and Aristarchus), plus several at Grimaldi. Mare Crisium produces a robust signal in some cases (however, Crisium is too large for a “feature” as defined). TLP count consistency for these features indicates that ∼80% of these may be real. Some commonly reported sites disappear from the robust averages, including Alphonsus, Ross D, and Gassendi.

    Dotto et al.: Observations from Orbiting Platforms 219 Observations from Orbiting Platforms E. Dotto Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica Osservatorio Astronomico di Torino M. A. Barucci Observatoire de Paris T. G. Müller Max-Planck-Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik and ISO Data Centre A. D. Storrs Towson University P. Tanga Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica Osservatorio Astronomico di Torino and Observatoire de Nice Orbiting platforms provide the opportunity to observe asteroids without limitation by Earth’s atmosphere. Several Earth-orbiting observatories have been successfully operated in the last decade, obtaining unique results on asteroid physical properties. These include the high-resolu- tion mapping of the surface of 4 Vesta and the first spectra of asteroids in the far-infrared wave- length range. In the near future other space platforms and orbiting observatories are planned. Some of them are particularly promising for asteroid science and should considerably improve our knowledge of the dynamical and physical properties of asteroids. 1. INTRODUCTION 1800 asteroids. The results have been widely presented and discussed in the IRAS Minor Planet Survey (Tedesco et al., In the last few decades the use of space platforms has 1992) and the Supplemental IRAS Minor Planet Survey opened up new frontiers in the study of physical properties (Tedesco et al., 2002). This survey has been very important of asteroids by overcoming the limits imposed by Earth’s in the new assessment of the asteroid population: The aster- atmosphere and taking advantage of the use of new tech- oid taxonomy by Barucci et al. (1987), its recent extension nologies. (Fulchignoni et al., 2000), and an extended study of the size Earth-orbiting satellites have the advantage of observing distribution of main-belt asteroids (Cellino et al., 1991) are out of the terrestrial atmosphere; this allows them to be in just a few examples of the impact factor of this survey.

  • Water on the Moon, III. Volatiles & Activity
    Water on The Moon, III. Volatiles & Activity Arlin Crotts (Columbia University) For centuries some scientists have argued that there is activity on the Moon (or water, as recounted in Parts I & II), while others have thought the Moon is simply a dead, inactive world. [1] The question comes in several forms: is there a detectable atmosphere? Does the surface of the Moon change? What causes interior seismic activity? From a more modern viewpoint, we now know that as much carbon monoxide as water was excavated during the LCROSS impact, as detailed in Part I, and a comparable amount of other volatiles were found. At one time the Moon outgassed prodigious amounts of water and hydrogen in volcanic fire fountains, but released similar amounts of volatile sulfur (or SO2), and presumably large amounts of carbon dioxide or monoxide, if theory is to be believed. So water on the Moon is associated with other gases. Astronomers have agreed for centuries that there is no firm evidence for “weather” on the Moon visible from Earth, and little evidence of thick atmosphere. [2] How would one detect the Moon’s atmosphere from Earth? An obvious means is atmospheric refraction. As you watch the Sun set, its image is displaced by Earth’s atmospheric refraction at the horizon from the position it would have if there were no atmosphere, by roughly 0.6 degree (a bit more than the Sun’s angular diameter). On the Moon, any atmosphere would cause an analogous effect for a star passing behind the Moon during an occultation (multiplied by two since the light travels both into and out of the lunar atmosphere).

    Transient Lunar Phenomena: Regularity and Reality Arlin P.S. Crotts Department of Astronomy, Columbia University, Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory, 550 West 120th Street, New York, NY 10027 ABSTRACT Transient lunar phenomena (TLPs) have been reported for centuries, but their nature is largely unsettled, and even their existence as a coherent phenomenon is still controversial. Nonetheless, a review of TLP data shows regularities in the observations; a key question is whether this structure is imposed by human observer effects, terrestrial atmospheric effects or processes tied to the lunar surface. I interrogate an extensive catalog of TLPs to determine if human factors play a determining role in setting the distribution of TLP reports. We divide the sample according to variables which should produce varying results if the determining factors involve humans e.g., historical epoch or geographical location of the observer, and not reflecting phenomena tied to the lunar surface. Specifically, we bin the reports into selenographic areas (300 km on a side), then construct a robust average count for such “pixels” in a way discarding discrepant counts. Regardless of how we split the sample, the results are very similar: roughly 50% of the report count originate from the crater Aristarchus and vicinity, 16% from Plato, 6% from recent, major impacts (Copernicus, ∼ ∼ Kepler and Tycho - beyond Aristarchus), plus a few at Grimaldi. Mare Crisium produces a robust signal for three of five averages of up to 7% of the reports (however, Crisium subtends more than one pixel). The consistency in TLP report counts for specific features on this list indicate that 80% of the reports arXiv:0706.3947v1 [astro-ph] 27 Jun 2007 ∼ are consistent with being real (perhaps with the exception of Crisium).

  • RESEARCH Topographic Expressions of Lunar Graben
    RESEARCH Topographic expressions of lunar graben Melanie B. Callihan* and Christian Klimczak STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY AND GEOMECHANICS GROUP, DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, ATHENS, GEORGIA 30602, USA ABSTRACT Graben, defined as landforms produced by normal faulting, have long been recognized on the Moon, but their map patterns, as well as topographic expressions, have not been studied systematically. The topography across graben and its along-strike variations reveal details about the growth of the normal faults forming the graben. Individual normal faults grow in length by the propagation of fault tips during slip events, which can also enlarge the displacement along the fault plane. Displacement and length accumulate and grow larger over time with more slip events, fault interaction, and linkage. We measured fault lengths and vertical offsets and then calculated the displacement for lunar graben using data from the camera and laser altimeter onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Our study systematically investigated 14 graben systems across the lunar surface. Graben lengths were found to range from ~43 to 453 km, and displacements ranged from ~127 to 1115 m. These displacements were plotted against graben fault length to produce slip distributions, which revealed growth patterns involving mechanical interaction and fault linkage. Displacement-to-length scaling was used to further study the evolu- tion of graben-bounding normal faults. We observed a sublinear growth pattern for lunar graben-bounding normal faults, consistent with growth of faults via segment linkage, where different stages of linkage are present on the lunar surface. Lunar graben-bounding faults show higher scaling ratios than previously estimated, likely due to variations in host-rock properties and mechanical stratigraphy.

  • Rimae Sirsalis
    RIMAE SIRSALIS Nieves del Río, José Castillo, Eduardo Adarve, Jorge Arranz y Alberto Martos del Grupo de Estudios Lunares “Enrique Silva”. [Página dejada intencionadamente en blanco] - 2 - INTRODUCCIÓN Rimae Sirsalis es un sistema de grietas que comprende dos estructuras de esta clase, Rima Sirsalis y Rima Sirsalis I, siendo la primera mucho más larga y mucho más perceptible que la segunda. Pertenecen a la clase de grietas rectas, cuyo aspecto es diferente del aspecto de las grietas circulares que bordean las cuencas de las grandes estructuras de impacto. Lo que tiene de particular este sistema, para que haya merecido figurar como objetivo 1 en el apartado “Call for Observations 2”, del boletín TLO 3 de ALPO 4, son sus dos características principales: siendo Rima Sirsalis la grieta más larga existente en la cara cislunar (la visible), está situada en una región cuyo suelo es geológicamente distinto de la naturaleza de suelos por los que discurren en general las grietas lunares. En efecto, las grietas lunares (llamadas en latín rimae ) son siempre estructuras volcánicas, generalmente túneles de lava cuyo techo se ha desplomado, o surcos por los cuales fluyó la lava en su día, en favor de la pendiente del suelo. Por esta razón, se las encuentra siempre sobre terrenos magmáticos, como los maria (plural de mare ), los sini (plural de sinus ), los laci (plural de lacus ), o los paludes (plural de palus ), o sea sobre los “mares”, las “bahías”, los “lagos” o las “marismas” lunares. Como ejemplos de esta condición se puede citar a Rimae Hypatia, situada en el Mare Tranquillitatis, a Rima Oppolzer, en Sinus Medii, a Rimae Bürg y Rimae Daniell, en Lacus Mortis y Lacus Somniorum, respectivamente y Rima Hesiodus en Palus Epidemiarum.
