Wave heating theory[edit]

I'm concerned that the article says "He is best known for his wave heating theory involving the Coronal heating problem of the Sun's atmosphere." but the cited source only quotes Prof Hood for an explaination, and doesn't talk about his work on the theory. It's not his theory anyway, it was proposed in 1949 by Evry Schatzman according to the Corona article.
