摘要:
Although the typical depth of oceanic basins is 5 km, a significant fraction of the earth's surface is covered by a much shallower sheet of water (only about 100 m in depth). In addition to many small lakes and lagoons, this includes extensive areas, with horizontal dimensions of 100 km and more, such as the Great Lakes, continental shelves, or large gulfs such as the Gulf of Maine or the North Sea. These relatively large bodies of water behave dynamically in an ‘oceanic’ manner, in the sense that motions in them are strongly affected by the earth's rotation. They will be taken to constitute the ‘coastal ocean,’ a term that covers enclosed and semienclosed basins, as well as open seas such as the broad and flat continental shelves of the ‘Atlantic’ type or the narrow and steep shelves of the ‘

摘要:
When in 1978, the New York State Department of Health issued the report, ‘Love Canal—Public Health Time Bomb,’ the serious effects of chemical waste contamination in the Love Canal area became an issue of national concern. A few ‘studies’ since then have produced results in concert with those of initial reports that described ‘conditions of acute health effects’ as being linked to hazardous wastes incorporated in landfill in the Love Canal site near Niagara Falls, New York. Now that a ‘blue ribbon’ panel of experts from the medical sciences has reviewed the problems of Love Canal, however, a different view has emerged. The ‘Report of the Governors' Panel to Review Scientific Studies and the Development of Public Policy on Problems Resulting from Hazardous Wastes,’ transmitted in October of this year, identifies the following factors about the health

摘要:
Neil H. Berg is now in charge of snowpack research for the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station in Berkeley, California. In his new position, he will direct a team of scientists to study forest management in the snow zones of the Sierra Nevada and Coast Ranges in California.

摘要:
The ‘tower of Babel syndrome’ is the most important problem facing water‐resources researchers, says Stephen J. Burges, the new coeditor for hydrology and physical, chemical, and biological sciences for Water Resources Research (WRR). Burges was appointed to a 4‐year term which began November 1. He succeeds R. Allan Freeze.Specialized research that lacks a sense of connection to other aspects of hydrology characterizes the syndrome, Burges explained. He traces this scattering of interests back to 1966 with the ‘evolution’ of the third‐genera

摘要:
During the past 10 years, significant progress has been made in the methods of collection and analysis of seismic reflection and refraction data. This progress has led to the development of new models for the structure and composition of the earth's crust, based on sophisticated analysis of numerous profiles in many areas of geologic importance. The third triannual meeting of the IASPEI (International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior) Commission of Controlled Source Seismology was convened in Park City, Utah, on August 11–17, 1980, to bring together seismologists and geologists to explore and assess the progress of controlled source techniques (controlled sources include explosions, air guns, and Vibroseis‐type sources), and to evaluate its significance in terms of current models of the seismic velocity structure and composition of the crust and upper mantle. Particular attention was paid to the progress and problems in the modeling of two‐ and three‐dimensional str
