摘要:
With aid of the outline elevations and the specifications listed on the cover figure, one can almost visualize the huge, bow‐thrusted vessel that is slated to be the deep ocean drilling ship of the 1980's. TheGlomar Explorer, former CIA ship, is to be converted for core drilling at incredible ocean depths of 2–4 km. The drilling will be ‘state‐of‐the‐art’ in obtaining core under the most modern and safe drilling standards. It stretches the imagination to realize that safeguards such as blowout protectors, risers, and well head controls, which are now frequently employed in conventional offshore drilling, will be standard equipment onExplorer. WhenExplorer'sdrill touches bottom, at 4 km, it will penetrate and then extract core from an additional 1500 meters or more into the ocean floor. This heretofore inconceivable ship, platform, and rig is to be the replacement for the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) drill shipGlomar Challenger,which was responsible for the spectacular scientific progress in deep ocean studies duri

摘要:
Recognizing the strong support of the American Geophysical Union and its substantial contribution to the American Geological Institute's Minority Participation Program, twelve of the 1979–1980 scholarship recipients were designated ‘AGU Scholars.’ Because of a matching grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to increase the number of minority students studying in fields related to the development of marine and coastal resources, two students were designated AGU Sea Grant ScholarsThe AGU Scholars, all of whom have elected courses of study related to the broad areas of interest of the Union, areRena G. Boggs,an earth science student at Columbus College;Rufus D. Catchings,a marine geology student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology;Patricia M. Ford,an earth science student at the University of New Orleans;John F. Guadagnoli,an earth science student at Highlands University;Joseph M. Hayden,a geophysics student at the University of Oklahoma;Steven M. Hunter,a recently graduated student at the University of Wisconsin, who will be continuing his studies at the University of Wyoming;Daniel M. Melendez,a meteorology student at Florida State University;Gary M. Mercado,a geophysics student at North Arizona University;Brian Rodriguez,a geophysics student at the University of California; andDavid M. Trujillo,an earth science student at New Mexico Highland Unive
