摘要:
With the FY 1980 budget, funding for NASA's lunar sampling program recovered from a precipitous drop, but some researchers feel the program has been stunted.From a high of over $10 million in 1971, when Apollo missions were bringing the first rocks back from the moon, funding for lunar sample research tapered to a little less than $6 million per year in the mid 1970's, according to NASA figures.

摘要:
New measurements and computations reported at this session raised intriguing questions about the sources and chemistry of atmospheric trace gases.Gregory L. Kok, of Harvey Mudd College, found in his studies of the Los Angeles area that during the day hydrogen peroxide maxima are often 15–20 parts per billion (ppb), far higher than can be explained by present computer models. The findings suggest that some important chemical process is not include

摘要:
As the 1979–1980 American Geophysical Union Congressional Science Fellow, I have decided to communicate to you early during my stay on the Hill. Former AGU Fellows have waited until their tenure was finished before providing us with their insights, which were based on a wide range of Hill experiences. Nevertheless, the first few weeks on the Hill are incredibly exhilarating, and, as this exhilaration is soon to be replaced by confusion and a sense of unease—on the job training, it is called—I thought I'd better commit to paper my first impressions.Lunching in the Capitol Building with congressmen and senators, meeting with the staffs of Senate and House committees, attending lectures given by experts on the Hill's operations, all provided undeniable emotional highs for the 26 fellows with whom I've shared this orientation program. More importantly, however, in these initial days, we have been made aware (or at least reminded) that within the Hill's confines many tough decisions affecting the U.S. (and the world) are made. Furthermore, it appears that in these halls scientists and social scientists, if they are hard working, willing to give up depth for breadth, and able to accept the ultimately political nature of all congressional decisions, may at times be able to participate effectively in the pr

摘要:
The National Science Foundation awarded a block travel grant to AGU for provision of partial travel support to U.S. scientists who attended the XVII General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, which was held in Canberra, Australia, December 2–15, 1979. A total of 74 U.S. scientists were funde

摘要:
The Midwestern Region of the American Geophysical Union met in Columbus, Ohio, for two full‐day sessions on September 13 and 14, 1979. Registrants totaled 111, including approximately 20 nonmembers of the AGU. There were eight sessions in which 64 papers were presented, and nine poster presentations provided interesting conversation foci throughout the meeting.The session on Geology and Geophysics of the Central United States, chaired by Hal Noltimier of Ohio State, focused on the basement structure from western New York across the midcontinent to the Rio Grande Rift. The poster presentations which concluded the session were impressive magnetic and Bouguer anomaly maps of the greater New Madrid Seismic Zone. Except for the paper by Steele on anomalous levels of radon emission prior to recent earthquakes in Missouri, the papers were generally concerned with gravimetric and geomagnetic data that illuminated details of crustal structure on a local and regional basis. At least two papers were concerned with basement intrusives of late Phanerozoic and early Mesozoic origi
