摘要:
It has been noted that for many years science has been growing at a much faster rate than most other things in society. In fact, whether we count number of people employed or papers published, until recently science has been doubling in size about every 15 years, as disclosed in the classic work byPrice[1963]. Thus, science increased much faster than the growth of the general population, or of the gross national product. But as with any biological or social system, such growth rates cannot continue indefinitely. What would it mean for science if the system entered “steady state staffing” of personnel; what would it mean for geophysics? Are we entering a “steady state” of geo

摘要:
Those who have contributed to the research literature are quite familiar with the workings of the publication process, even though they may not have seen it explicitly set down as is done in the accompanying flow chart. However, for the benefit of students, who are thought to readEos, if only for the classified ads, and editors, who may have lost sight of the forest for the trees, we have requested that AGU publish this diagram. T h e flow chart is self‐explanatory. We note that ΔtA,ΔtE, and ΔtRare time delays introduced by the author, the editor, and the referee. Since the editor gets to handle the paper twice each iteration (the number of which is counted by the index,I) he is responsible for a time delay of 2 ΔtE. The numberNJis journal dependent, ranging from 0 for some conference proceedings and forprofit journals, to 2 (or greater) for some AGU journals. (For example, this is our third submittal of this forum.) We would particularly like to thank G.C. Reid and S. Solomon and the many others who have had a hand in codifying this flow chart over the years andEoseditor, L.J. Lanzerotti, for his assistance in the further refinement of various de

摘要:
Detailed descriptions of nearly 300 digital data bases and the systems operating them are featured in a revised edition of a comprehensive report on the automated earth science information systems and data bases of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Bureau of Land Management, and the Minerals Management Service.Among the earth science data bases available are lunar geochemical data from the Apollo missions; data on newly identified coal resources in the United States; seismic data on earthquake magnitudes from 2,700 stations worldwide; data on more than 2 million place names nationwide; data from more than 200,000 aerial photographs used in USGS mapping efforts; the locations and ages of aquifer systems throughout the country; and water use data for the nation. The publication also provides indexes of titles, acronyms, and contact persons. A keyword list contains 2,000 subject words with references to specific data bases and systems.
