These Proceedings were compiled and edited by members of The University of Tennessee's Energy, Environment, and Resources Center (eerc). At its inception in 1972, the Center was directed to perform research and public service in environmental studies. Concern for environmental quality has since led it to develop major programs addressing energy supply and demand factors, as these factors have a major impact on the United States today. In response to its initial mandate, eerc was organized flexibly, allowing it to form interdisciplinary groups of experts to meet the challenge of multifaceted environmental problems. As a result, the Center has emerged as The University's focal point for multidisciplinary programs dealing with energy and the environment.
