WII`LIAM L. WO OD ~ Chairman) is associate professor of
oceanic science and engineering and director of the Hydromechanic
I,aboratory, School of Civil Engineering, Purdue University, West
Lafayette, Indiana. He also serves as director of the Great Lakes
Coastal Research Laboratory at Purdue. from 1984 to 1985 Dr.
Wood served as chief of the Engineering Development Division,
Coastal Engineering Research Center, Waterways Experiment Sta-
tion, where in 1985 he received the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers's
Special Commendation for outstanding service. Dr. Wood received a
Ph.D. in geophysics (marine science) from Michigan State University,
did graduate work in geophysical fluid dynamics at the University
of Chicago, and received a B.S. in applied mathematics and physics
from Michigan State University. Dr. Wood's research has focused
on coastal hydrodynamics, boundary layer processes, and shallow
ocean dynamics. Specific interests have been shallow-water wave
transformation, wave instabilities and breaking, vertical and hori-
zontal structure of longshore currents, generation of short-crested
waves and their transformation at a coast, sediment entrainment in
turbulent boundary layers, stability of coastal profiles in response
to storm waves and lake-level variation, and dynamics of submarine
canyons. He has just completed an appointment as vice-chairman of
the National Research Council's Committee on Coastal Engineering

MARTIN JANNERETH received his M.S. in forest ecology
with an emphasis on soil science and ecology from Michigan State
University in 1972. He is presently in charge of the Shorelands Man-
agement Unit, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, where
he implements, administers, and enforces the Shorelands Protection
and Management Act. He also consults with local officials, state and
federal agencies, and the public on planning assistance, shoreland
zoning, and technical assistance on Great Lakes-related issues. He
plans regulatory measures, conducts shoreland recession rate studies,
delineates high-risk erosion areas, establishes setback requirements,
makes official regulatory designations of high-risk erosion areas, and
administers appeals of designation.

currently a member of the Board of Directors of the Massachusetts
Audubon Society, and serves on its executive committee.
STEPHEN P. [EATHE:RMAN is director of the Laboratory for
Coastal Research and professor of geomorphology in the Depart-
ment of Geography at the University of Maryland, College Park. He
received his B.S. in geoscience from North Carolina State Univer-
sity and a Ph.D. in environmental sciences from the University of
Virginia. His principal research interests are in quantitative coastal
geomorphology, coastal geology and hydraulics, and coastal resources
management. He has authored/edited 8 books and published over
100 journal articles and reports on storm-generated beach processes,
barrier island dynamics, and sea level rise impacts on coastal ar-
eas. Dr. Leatherman was an author of the 1987 National Research
Council report on "Responding to Changing Sea Level: Engineering
Implications."
BERNARD [E: MEHAUTE received his engineering degree from
the University of Toulouse, France, followed by an advanced degree
from the University of Paris (cum laude) and his doctoral degree with
the highest distinction from the University of Grenoble. Currently,
he is professor of applied marine physics, Rosenstie! School of Marine
and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami. Previously, he
was senior vice-president and corporate chief engineer, cofounder,
and director of Tetra Tech. He was appointed by the Secretary of
Commerce to the National Sea Grant Advisory Pane] for the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Ford and Carter
administrations. He was nominated by the Secretary of the Army
to the Coastal Engineering Research Board from 1982 to 1988, and
he was the first recipient of the International Coastal Engineering
Award of the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1979. He is
a founder of the Coastal Society and is director of the American
Shore and Beach Preservation Association. He has published more
than 110 papers and is the author of various books, among these
An Introduction to Hydrodynamics and Water Waves, published by
Springer-VerIag and translated into various languages.
DAVID W. OWENS is associate professor of public law and
government and assistant director at the Institute of Government,
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He works primarily in
the land use law area, particularly city planning, zoning, natural

GERALDINE BACHMAN is familiar with both the coastal
management program administered by the National Oceanic and At-
mospheric Administration and the Federal Emergency Management
Agency program as well as the development process and objectives of
builders and owners who develop in coastal areas. She was employed
by the federal office of Coastal Zone Management from 1975 to 1977,
and from 1982 to 1984 she worked for a private architecture and
engineering firm under contract with the Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency to do floodplain and coastal hazard studies. Most
recently, she spent 3 years at the Urban Land Institute and was re-
sponsible for initiating the policy education program that attempted
to bring together conservation and development interests on issues
such as ground water, wetlands management, impact fees, hazardous
waste, and other such environmental/development concerns. Cur-
rently, she is a principal in a small planning/development consulting
firm, Marsolan Associates, in Annapolis, Maryland.
