摘要:

The Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989, was a great opportunity for the Earth science community: an opportunity to explain to a huge TV audience what happened, clearly and simply, to explain what faults are, what seismologists know and do not know about them, and why.

摘要:

The late 1990s will see a shortage of Ph.D. graduates, according to the Association of American Universities, Washington, D.C. AAU's new comprehensive study, “The Ph.D. Shortage: The Federal Role,” reports that competition for new Ph.D.s is already intense and can only intensify because demand is greater than supply in both academic and nonacademic markets.Doctoral education plays an increasingly important role in U.S. research and development programs. Students have a pivotal part in doing research and enriching it with new ideas. The AAU report says that graduate students are “major determinants of the creativity and productivity of U.S. academic research, the source of more than 50% of the nation's basic research.’ The market for doctoral education extends beyond the university. In 1985, about 43% of all Ph.D.s employed in this country were working outside higher education; the demand for doctorate recipients in nonacademic sectors continues

摘要:

A special session, “Applications of Remote Sensing in General Circulation Models,” at the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco focused on the use of remote sensing in the development, calibration, and evaluation of atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs). The products of satellite remote sensing technology show great potential for use in GCM development, since (unlike surface measurements) they can take the form of global, multitemporal data fields defined at spatial scales consistent with GCM grid spacing. While much of this potential still seems untapped, the six papers presented at the session demonstrate that several applications of the data are being explo

摘要:

AGU takes great pride in announcing the recipients of the 1990 AGU Medals, the highest honors presented by the Union. These outstanding scientists have been chosen by a select committee of their peers for their significant contributions in one or more aspects of geophysics.The William Bowie Medalfor outstanding contributions to fundamental geophysics and for unselfish cooperation in research is awarded toEugene N. Parkerof the Astrophysics Laboratory of the University of Chicago.
