摘要:
A distinct federal budget initiative this year has spotlighted global change research for FY 1992. The budget asks for almost $1.2 billion—an increase of $232 million, 24% more than last year—to be spread among nine federal agencies in the U.S. Global Change Research Program. Climate modelling and prediction is the top scientific priority for 1992, according to the National Science Foundation's Robert W. Corel 1, chairman of the Committee on Earth and Environmental Sciences (CEES) working group that has assembled the U.S. program for the past three years. The program also has a new participant, the Department of Defense, added this y

摘要:
The small, crowded room of the House side of the U.S. Capitol building belied the large budget of $1,611,991,000 requested for Fiscal Year 1992 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. John A. Knauss, Undersecretary for Oceans and Atmosphere, U.S. Department of Commerce, delivered his testimony on February 28 before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary and Related Agencies. He told the subcommittee that the budget “attempts to balance the two goals of maintaining NOAA's position as an important science agency and addressing the serious budget problems that the government continues to face.”Climate and global change, modernization of the National Weather Service, and the Coastal Ocean Science program are NOAA's three ongoing, high‐priority initiatives that the budget addresses. Also, three additional initiatives—a NOAA‐wide program to improve environmental data management, President Bush's multiagency Coastal America initiative, and a seafood safety program administered jointly by NOAA and the Food and Drug Administration—ar

摘要:
Geodesy is devoted to the determination of the shape, size, and gravity field of the Earth. Its methods include triangulation, leveling, gravity surveys, and tracking by artificial satellites. The results of its observations typically hold for time periods varying from a few hours to decades. In contrast, in geophysics (seismology in particular) one deals with very short periods of an hour or less, while in geological processes, one frequently considers periods of a million years or more. In Lambeck's book, the author treats the middle ground between these two geophysical extremes, which is concerned with the slow deformation of the Earth. He quite appropriately calls this geophysical geodesy, and its topics include crustal motion, spatial and temporal variation of the gravity field, rotation, and tidal deformations of the Earth. Hence geophysical geodesy aims to bridge a traditional gap between geodesy and geophysics.
