Historic Shipwrecks in the Gulf of Mexico
Part of the mission of the MMS is to ensure that significant archaeological sites are not adversely affected by oil and gas exploration and development. This responsibility often includes the protection of historic shipwrecks. Historical research conducted for MMS studies 89-0023, 89-0024, and 89-0025 indicates that over 400 ships have sunk on the Federal OCS dating from 1625 to 1951; thousands more have sunk closer to shore in state waters during the same period. Only a handful of these have been scientifically excavated by archaeologists for the benefit of generations to come. In several cases, the MMS has partnered with state and Federal agencies conducting this research. The work conducted by the MMS and other scientists in the Gulf of Mexico contributes to our understanding of how our Nation developed by studying the technology that fostered the growth of the United States. ...

www.elpasotexas.gov - Records Management Division - Research: City Seal
It is not known precisely when the City of El Paso officially adopted its present seal, although an early version has been discovered dating back to 1903. This early version of the City seal was unique, consisting of the five-pointed star with the words “City of El Paso, El Paso County.” The olive and oak branches were omitted, and in between the points of the star were each letter spelling out the word “Texas.” By the early 1930’s, the seal reverted to its present form (above) duplicating the Texas State Seal in every respect except for the “City of El Paso Texas” legend. ...

Rio Grande Delta in Texas—Sea-Level, Climate, Neotectonic and Anthropogenic Effects
Recovery of cores and dating sedimentary sections are essential to detail the Holocene stratigraphy with which to define the delta-to-inner-shelf architecture, measure changes of sea level and land subsidence, and survey the effects of Holocene paleoclimate. Short cores that retrieve sections preserving history of the past several centuries are also needed to understand what has led to changes of sediment accumulation versus erosion induced by human activity. ...
