摘要:
Climate is a condition of life. When it changes, so must we. Yet until recently, most people would not admit any real possibility of climatic change in their calculations of past, present, and future. Even those required to think forward—farmers, economists, planners, and politicians—preferred to work on a simple extension of here and now. All that has begun to cha

摘要:
Research at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra into the physics and chemistry of minerals is being actively carried out by a number of different research groups within the Research School of Earth Sciences (RSES), the Research School of Chemistry (RSC), and the Department of Geology. The research schools form part of the Institute of Advanced Studies, which is a national center for research and postgraduate training established by the Australian Government in 1946. The Institute of Advanced Studies seeks to ensure flexibility in its approach to research by maintaining an unusually high ratio (>1) of nontenured to tenured staff. Two types of nontenured appointment are available: postdoctoral fellowships of 1–2 yr duration and research fellowships tenable for 3–5 yr. The Department of Geology, as part of the Faculty of Science, is responsible for the provision of undergraduate education in geology, in addition to its role in research and postgraduate train

摘要:
Mineral physics, like its sister disciplines geochemistry, petrology, and crystallography, is a derivative of the old discipline of mineralogy. At the turn of the century, mineralogy was one of the strongest pillars in the European University, but it was weakened by the loss of these branches, which declared their independence as they matured. One of the most important roots of solid state physics also branched off from 19th‐century mineralogy.Yet solid state physics, bound securely in the Physics Department, developed in a way that took it further and further from the interests of geological sciences. In the late 1960s, it became evident that a gap existed in laboratory and theoretical geophysics that was not filled by the then‐existing disciplines of solid state physics or mineralogy. To fill this gap, it was required that the principles of solid state physics be applied to minerals of especial interest to geophys

摘要:
G. L. Kinsland (Eos, August 28, 1984, p. 490) proposed that a late Proterozoic transcontinental right‐lateral strike‐slip fault system with approximately 600 km of offset exists in the United States, striking northwest from southeastern Alabama to northwestern Montana. After Kinsland corrected the proposed displacement, two aligned gravity features were noted: first, the Central North American Rift System (CNARS) and the Hartville Uplift and second, the Late Proterozoic rift passive margins of the Ouachita Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. However, significant displacement along the proposed trace of the fault is precluded by the disruption of various terranes that would result (Figures 1aand lb). Some of these terranes includeThe northwestern corner of the Wyoming province (feature 4 in the figures; Dutch [1983]).The North American Central Plains conductive anomaly (NACPCA)‐Mullen Creek‐Nash Fork shear zone (feature 3; Camfield and Gough [1977]).The CNARS (feature 2), which Yarger and Lam [1983] and Yarger [1982]extended through Kansas to the Oklahoma border. Danbom et al. [1980] found gravity and magnetic evidence for a probable extension of the CNARS into northern O

摘要:
Hydrothermal vent systems forming "black smoker chimneys" with polymetallic sulfide deposits have been found at several places on the midocean ridges since their initial discovery in May 1979 by the RISE (Rivera Submersible Experiments) Project Group on the East Pacific Rise at 21°N

摘要:
National Science Week, an event launched last year by the National Science Foundation (NSF), will be observed thi s year from May 11 to May 17, 1986. In support of this effort, NSF is urging individuals or organizations to sponsor science and math competitions or fairs, arrange "open house" events at research facilities, organize educational programs and scientific demonstrations, and arrange or participate in other activities. National Science Week is intended to increase public awareness and understanding of science and technology and to encourage young people in the United States to become more involved with and consider careers in science and mathematics. Educational packets will be made available to schools, public libraries, and science museums. The corporate sponsors of National Science Week are the Amoco Foundation, the Atlantic Richfield Foundation, the Dow Chemical Company Foundation, the DuPont Company, the Eastman Kodak Company, the General Electric Foundation, and IBM. For more information, write to National Science Week '86, c/o National Science Foundation, 1800 G Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20550 (telephone: 1‐800‐227‐
