1 DR. VALENTINE: It is a combination of sediment source and 



2 sedimentary processes--what the end result of the processes working on 



3 the sediments is. You know, is it a gravel patch or rippled sand or 



4 bioeroded cliff? That is the environment. 



5 DR. GRASSLE: Shall we say "sources and processes?" 



6 DR. VALENTINE: Fine. 



7 DR. GRASSLE: "Are sedimentary sources and processes of canyons 



8 different?" And the "nos" become "yeses." 



9 DR. KRAEUTER: Read your statement again. 



10 DR. TEAL: It has to be a little different. It has to be fixed up 



11 a little. Canyons differ from one another. 



12 DR. KRAEUTER: There is something wrong-- 



13 DR. TEAL: Yes. 



14 DR. GRASSLE: Are sediment sources and sedimentary processes 



15 different from canyon to canyon? Canyon to canyon is better. 



16 DR. BOTHNER: Well, actually the question is, "Are sedimentary 



17 sources different from canyon to canyon?" Sources are the same, kind 



18 of. 



19 DR. GRASSLE: Look, are we going to do something like this, or do 



20 you want to delete the whole thing? 



21 DR. BOTHNER: I would rather delete it, and I would rather have 



22 that introduced in the beginning as a true statement that we have data 



23 from two canyons, you know, a lot of data, physical data from two 



24 canyons, biological data from a lot more, and we find a whole range of 



25 characteristics in these canyons, such that you cannot automatically 



26 predict the processes of impacts in all the canyons. 



27 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



28 DR. GRASSLE: Maybe you can amend your 100-word thing to highlight 



29 that point. 



30 DR. VALENTINE: Where is the 100-word thing going to come? Before 



31 this or after it? 



32 DR. GRASSLE: It is going to come-- 



33 DR. VALENTINE: It is coming up later on.
