摘要:
Sadami Matsushita, of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, died on March 15, 1984, less than a half year after being told that he had stomach cancer. He was born in Kyoto, Japan, on February 12, 1920, the only son of Kiyomi and Taka Taniguchi Matsushita, from whom he acquired his lifelong appreciation of literature and the arts. In 1951, Matsushita obtained his Doctor of Sciences degree from Kyoto University where, continuing his research and lecturing, he soon became one of Japan's leading experts on the subject of ionospheric processes. In 1954, on an invitation from the Research Staff of Physics at the Imperial College of London, he spent a year in England. Before returning to his homeland, Matsushita was persuaded by Walter Roberts to visit the High Altitude Observatory (HAO) at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colo. The visit became a permanent 29 years of significant scientific creativity at HAO (which became a part of the Center for Atmospheric Research).

摘要:
We hydrogeologists have waited for many years and some 70 volumes of the series ofBenchmark Papers in Geology(Hutchinson Ross) for a definitive review of the theoretical development of hydrogeology. Our patience has been rewarded with two volumes,Physical Hydrogeology(edited by R.A. Freeze and W. Back) andChemical Hydrogeology). From a historical perspective, this appears to be a logical division of the subject. The two branches of hydrogeology evolved along separate pathways for many years. In the 1960s the influence of the groundwater flow regime on the geochemical nature of groundwater was first described in a qualitative way. In a 1970 Meinzer Award‐winning paper, the synergisms of groundwater flow, chemical thermodynamics, and mineral equilibria were eloquently described by Back and Hanshaw. The 1970s saw mass transport equations developed whereby physical flow of groundwater and transport of conservative solutes were quantitatively linked. Current research driven by the need to understand contaminant transport and attenuation mechanisms in groundwater is so linking physical and chemical hydrogeology that future review volumes may not be so conveniently divisible as thes

摘要:
The title chosen for this renewal of the U.S.‐Japan prediction seminar series reflects optimism, perhaps more widespread in Japan than in the United States, that research on earthquake prediction has progressed to a stage at which it is appropriate to begin testing operational forecast systems. This is not to suggest that American researchers do not recognize very substantial gains in understanding earthquake processes and earthquake recurrence, but rather that we are at the point of initiating pilot prediction experiments rather than asserting that we are prepared to start making earthquake predictions in a routine mode.For the sixth time since 1964, with support from the National Science Foundation and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, as well as substantial support from the U.S. Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) for participation of a good representation of its own scientists, earthquake specialists from the two countries came together on November 7–11, 1983, to review progress of the recent past and share ideas about promising directions for future efforts. If one counts the 1980 Ewing symposium on prediction, sponsored by Lamont‐Doherty Geological Observatory, which, though multinational, served the same purpose, one finds a continuity in these interchanges that has made them especially productive and stimulating for both scientific communities. The conveners this time were Chris Scholz, Lamont‐Doherty, for the United States and Tsuneji Rikitake, Nihon University, fo
