摘要:

The Interagency Coordinating Group for Continental Scientific Drilling (ICG/CSD), composed of representatives from the Department of Energy (DOE), National Science Foundation (NSF), and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), has devised a multiyear, multihole scientific research strategy for the U.S. Continental Scientific Drilling Program (CSDP). Using this strategic plan, the agencies of ICG/CSD expect to establish and maintain a management and operational infrastructure for continental scientific drilling.Phase I is the initial 3‐year, base scientific drilling program beginning in Fiscal Year 1991. Combined funding from the three agencies is expected to be about $3 million per year, to drill 10 to 15 shallow‐ to intermediate‐depth holes over the 3‐year period. The elements of Phase I are: targets of significant scientific importance at shallow and occasionally intermediate depths research using drill holes of opportunity continuing research and development related to CSDP activities archiving, storing and distributing drilling samples collecting, managing and distributing drilling and drilling‐rel

摘要:

The Ocean Science Award is given for “outstanding service to the marine science community. Service may include leadership, management, sharing of data, analysis techniques, or models, as well as facility or instrumentation development. In every case, the service must go well beyond the normal requirements of an individual's job. The individual must be nationally recognized for such service

摘要:

The Ocean Studies Board of the National Research Council has appointed the Committee on the Coastal Ocean (CoCO) in response to increased scientific and public concern. The committee will examine present coastal ocean research efforts and evaluate the degree to which important research topics are being addressed by various federal and state agencies.

摘要:

Most monitoring of Atlantic and Pacific coastal ecosystems does not “provide the information needed to understand the condition of the marine environment or to assess the effects of human activity on it,” a National Research Council committee has found. The committee reported its work inManaging Troubled Waters: The Role of Marine Environmental Engineering, recently released by the NRC.The ideal comprehensive monitoring syst em would help avert coastal environmental disasters, the committee said, noting that closed beaches, contaminated waters and sediments, restricted shellfish beds, and ailing fisheries persist even though numerous monitoring programs have been in place for some time. Federal mandates for marine environmental monitoring have been in effect since the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1890. The committe noted that “results have usually been disappointing, and many examples of overlapping, fragmentary, and unrelated monitoring efforts remain.” They suggest a stronger national focus, through periodic reports to Congress that evaluate the monitoring program, the state of the nation's marine environment, and policies that pro

摘要:

A joint commission on Rock Properties for Petroleum Engineers (RPPE) has been established by the International Society of Rock Mechanics and the Society of Petroleum Engineers to set up data banks on the properties of sedimentary rocks encountered during drilling. Computer‐based data banks of complete rock properties will be organized for sandstones (GRESA), shales (ARSHA) and carbonates (CARCA). The commission hopes to access data sources from members of the commission, private companies and the public domai

摘要:

Earth's physiographic features are prominently displayed on the map and are overlain by symbols for volcanos, earthquake epicenters, and movement of tectonic plates. The base map is a computer‐generated Mercator projection of the world that shows the topography of the land surface and the seafloor. Addition of colors and shaded relief helps clarify and distinguish important topographic feature
