摘要:
A third summer of coastal upwelling observations was recently completed by researchers at LEO‐15, the Long‐term Ecosystem Observatory established in 15 m of water offshore of Tuckerton, New Jersey. Each year, real‐time satellite images of wind‐driven upwelling events trigger fast‐response shipboard surveys to study the subsurface structure of the upwelled features and their relationship to bottom dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations (Figure 1). The LEO‐15 observations indicate that recurrent up‐welling centers develop on the downslope sides of topographic highs and coincide with the historically observed regions of recurrent low DO. Recent modeling suggests that because of the along‐shore topographic variations, a cyclonic eddy in the upwelling center forms that may concentrate nutrients, leading to phytoplankton blooms and subsequent reductions in DO as the resulting organic material decays below

摘要:
As part of the restructuring of the Mission to Planet Earth, NASA is soliciting ideas for a new series of small satellite missions that would conduct experiments and make observations not already built into the program. The new Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP) program will be designed to incorporate the latest technology and research into focused experiments in earth system science, conducted via small spacecraft. Each mission is expected to cost less than $100 million from start to finish and should launch within 36 months after being awarded. Each project would be managed by its principal investigator.

摘要:
A book devoted to the periglaciation of Great Britain seems paradoxical at first glance, since the island lies far to the south of the current Arctic permafrost zone, it supports no modern glaciers or ice fields, and is today influenced mainly by a maritime climate. But then few of the Earth's landscapes can be explained by geomorphological processes operating at present.

摘要:
Nine presentations were named Outstanding Student Papers in the Hydrology Section at the 1995 AGU Fall meeting in San Francisco, California.Leslie Dillard, who presented “Investigating the Physics of Dissolution of Nonaqueous Phase Liquids in Heterogeneous Porous Media Using Pore Network Modeling,” is a third‐year Ph.D. student in the hydrogeology program at Stanford University. She received her B.S. and M.S. from Stanford and has worked part‐time as a hydrologist at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park. Dillard is primarily interested in the study of aquifer contamination by nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs), as well as the effect of heterogeneity on subsurface fluid distributions, scale issues, aquifer parameter determination, biodegradation, and groundwater management. Her doctoral work addresses the influence of pore‐ and field‐scale rate limitations on NAPL

摘要:
Ten presentations were named Outstanding Student Papers in the Space Physics and Aeronomy Section at the 1995 AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, California.Richard Andrulis presented “Transverse Ion Acceleration by Lower Hybrid Waves.” Andrulis obtained a B.S. in engineering from The Pennsylvania State University. He has been a Ph.D. student at Cornell University for the past six years and plans to defend his doctoral thesis in July 1996. His thesis research has utilized computer simulations to investigate the interaction of lower hybrid wave with quasi‐stationary density depletions and the subsequent effect on transverse acceleration of ionospheric
