摘要:
The problem of what caused the late Cretaceous extinctions still remains unsolved today (or does it?), after over a hundred years of inquiry supported by an ever increasing supply of theories and data. The classic approach of the multiple working hypotheses method to the problem of wholesale extinctions has apparently not succeeded, at least not until very recently.What is the view of today's earth science community? To find out, we are soliciting your opinions in the accompanying poll. Of course the ‘democratic solution’ sought here cannot be considered the final answer to extinctions. But by taking the pulse of informed opinion, we hope to stimulate interest in the subject (of extinctions and of opinion surveys). The results of the poll will be reported in these pages at a later date. Whatever your specialty, please take a few minutes to fill out the questionnaire. We don't even insist on your being an earth scientist, but do give us your professional specializat

摘要:
AGU has benefited the academic geophysical community since its inception. It has become a major medium of scientific communication through its excellent journals and meetings. It represents us at international meetings and has assisted those who have traveled to such meetings. Also, in these times when academic science, particularly basic science, is under some pressure, AGU can serve an important role in presenting the case for basic research in public forums. For all these reasons AGU deserves the support of the academic community, but why should we contribute to AGU‐GIFT? Do we not already pay due
