摘要:
Data from the Magellan spacecraft's radar imaging of Venus should begin flowing to “very thirsty” planetary researchers soon, according to a number of scientists inside and outside NASA. Some researchers have criticized the slow pace of data release, which project officials attribute to technical glitches in the data handling.“The firehose is now open” for data release, according to Joe Boyce, NASA program scientist for Magellan. “It's just a fantastic data set.” Data from the “first cycle primary mission”—the first global mapping results—should all be released over the next four to f

摘要:
The near‐crisis situation caused by technical problems with the GOES‐7 satellite recently caused the Senate to express a willingness to provide $110 million to the Hughes Space and Communications Group to deliver a satellite quickly. The plan would involve a presidential declaration of emergency to either build a simpler satellite or purchase one currently being built by Hughes for Japan.In an unprecedented action, a special hearing on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's GOES program was called by the Senate Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary and Related Agencies Appropriations on July

摘要:
The National Center for Science Information System Japanese Scientific and Engineering Database Access Project, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Japan's NACSIS, has added four new databases to its free service, bringing the total number of available databases to 13.The new Directory of Japanese Researchers covers researchers affiliated with Japanese universities and academic research centers. Each researcher is listed by name, date of birth, organizational affiliation, education and degrees, memberships and awards, areas of specialization, and representative publications. Non‐Japanese researchers are also covere

摘要:
Earthquake ground motion was a focus of discussion at the semi‐annual meeting of the Committee on Seismology, a standing committee of the National Research Council's Board on Earth Sciences and Resources. At the April 18–19 meeting, held in Washington, D.C., plans were made for a workshop on the U.S. Strong‐Motion Program. The workshop will be a joint project of the Committee on Earthquake Engineering and the Committee on Seismology, and will be a first step in implementing a 1987 recommendation of the NRC suggested by a panel chaired by the late Otto Nuttli. That panel's report, “Recommendations for the Strong‐Motion Program in the United States,” often referred to as the “Nuttli Report,” made specific recommendations for a national strong‐motion program. These recommendations, together with additional topics of recent concern, are possible subjects

摘要:
VGP remains strong, healthy, and growing in number of abstracts submitted to each meeting. The recent Spring Meeting was the largest AGU meeting ever to be held on the East Coast. The next Spring Meeting will be held in Montreal, May 11–15, 1992. It's not too early to begin planning special sessions. Special sessions are extremely important to the well‐being of sections. They focus attention on timely research directions and are fun to organize and attend. For more information on program arrangements for special sessions, contact Randy Van Schmus, Dept. of Geology, University of Kansas; tel. 913‐864
