摘要:
Planetologists have focused their attention recently on a family of minerals known in the jargon as the ‘planetary ices.’ A small part of this special interest derives from the expectation of Comet Halley in 1985. Comets are often classified by planetary petrologists as ‘dirty snowballs.’ In large part, however, interest in the ices stems from the exciting results of the Voyager spacecraft missions. Most of Saturn's rings, indeed most of the moons of Saturn and Venus, have turned out to be icy. The interiors of the giant planets are made up of ices. Pluto has ice; so has its large moon,

摘要:
Someone—I believe it was a German statesman—once said that there were two questions to which most people did not really want answers: What goes in to sausage? and How are government decisions made? I am sure there is some truth here. Although I'm not familiar with what has been happening in the area of sausage making, there have been many discussions and several recent studies about the use and effectiveness of peer review in federal agencies deciding what research to support.This article is precipitated by these recent studies, by the availability of quantitative peer review data in the Ocean Sciences Research Section (OSRS) of the National Science Foundation (NSF), and by continuing questions and statements concerning the peer review process that suggest some misunderstanding about what it is and how it works. My intent in this article is to describe the general process of peer review used in OSRS and to explain some of the variations in that process. Data and statistics on proposals considered for support with Fiscal Year (FY) 1981 funds help illustrate the proc

摘要:
The environmental sciences program of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) is planning new research emphases in three areas. Although the scientific areas for research emphasis can and do change in the more stable, or core portion, of the program, much of the growth and modification of direction of the research program occur by identification of discrete packages of potential research effort for special emphasis over a planned time interval. These packages of potential research effort are called Special Focus Programs (SFPs). Their duration is typically on the order of 5 years, although the lifetime of any specific task or investigation may be significantly shorter or may extend beyond the SFP duration by being incorporated within a new emphasis or within the core program.

摘要:
The physical, geochemical, and biochemical processes associated with the renovation of wastewater by land treatment are complex, frequently interactive, and generally highly sensitive to changes in the physical environment. As in other disciplines dealing with complex and interactive problems, it is reasonable to expect that mathematical models could provide valuable guidance in site selection, design, and management of land‐treatment facilities.This book presents discussions of the processes recognized as being pertinent to land treatment facilities and describes mathematical models that have been developed to represent these processes. Specific topics include water movement, solute transport, salinity models, plant uptake, trace elements, virus movement, soil nitrogen, and soil phosphorus. Additional models pertinent to site selection and system optimization are also presente

摘要:
The Publications Committee has oversight responsibility for the entire AGU publications program. It is supported in this activity by the Journals Board, the Books Board, and the Translations Board. The 1982–1984 committee is chaired by Thomas Graedel. Serving with him are David Atlas, Grant Gross, Jurate Landwehr, Peter Molnar, George Reid, and Rob Van der Voo.At its November 3–4 meeting the new committee spent much of its time acquainting its elf with the scope of the program, the current problems, and the potential opportunities. In addition to setting the background against which the work of the next two years would take place, the commi
