摘要:
Cooperative research by scientists of the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) has resulted in important new findings concerning the fundamental characteristics of earthquakes and new insight into mitigating earthquake hazards. Much of the research is being conducted under the U.S. State Department Protocol for Scientific and Technical Cooperation in Earthquake Studies between the PRC State Seismological Bureau (SSB) and the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Science Foundation. Activities and progress accomplished under the protocol will be the subject of two special sessions at the 1985 AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, Calif. A special session in tectonophysics will emphasize cooperative activities in earthquake prediction research and intraplate faulting, and a special session in seismology will examine earth structure and seismicity. A delegation of 20 scientists from China will join their American colleagues in presenting papers on cooperative research.

摘要:
The following experience may be familiar to many of us at some time in our professional careers: upon trying to enter an interdisciplinary area, one is immediately confronted with a terminology barrier. Some of these barriers are just facts of life, whereas others can be traced back to confusions caused simply by loose usage of terminology by our colleagues. Unfortunately, a confusion of the latter kind is developing in one area that is a basis for many geophysical disciplines: the rotation of the earth.

摘要:
The most intensive earthquake monitoring program ever mounted in this country is going on near Parkfield, Calif., about midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco on the San Andreas fault. Although no particularly large or destructive quake is feared in Parkfield, the regularity with which earthquakes have occurred there in the past makes the site unique. Since the next quake has been forecast for 1988 (±5 years), seismologists have decided to blanket the area with data‐gathering equipment in hopes of having front‐row seats for the expected seismic show. The studies in Parkfield will be the topic of an all‐day session sponsored by the Seismology Section on Friday, December 13, at the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco,

摘要:
The National Research Council (NRC) is accepting applications for the 1986 Resident, Cooperative, and Postdoctoral Research Associateship programs. Under these programs, about 350 Ph.D. scientists and engineers will have the opportunity to perform research as guest investigators in a laboratory in one of 25 federal agencies or research institutions.

摘要:
Applications are available for Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowships for Minorities. About 35 fellowships will be awarded in 1986 to citizens or nationals of the United States who are American Indians, Alaskan Natives (Eskimo or Aleut), Black Americans, Mexican Americans I Chicanos, or Puerto Ricans. These 1‐year, nonrenewable fellowships are intended for persons preparing for or already engaged in college or university teaching or research. Some will also be awarded to “senior teacher‐scholars” to provide an opportunity for professional enrichment and r

摘要:
Brian Windley succeeds very well indeed at the formidable task he sets for himself in this greatly revised second edition of a book that first appeared in 1977. He synthesizes primarily the tectonic and petrologic evolution of the continents and secondarily their economic geologic, stratigraphic, and biologic history. The book is organized in well‐balanced time sequence and topical chapters, followed by a fine overview. The author describes examples, generalizes from them, and seeks understanding of variations with time and with depth of the process acting on continents within a plate tectonic framewor

摘要:
The purpose of this book “is to present a picture of the interesting life of this almost forgotten man.” It succeeds. The emphasis is on John Milne as a person rather than on his accomplishments as a scientist. The authors have drawn on a wide variety of sources to round out a revealing biography of the man. From their treatment the reader will see something of the drives that impel a man to the frontiers of science and to leadership in his specialty. The treatment is sympathetic, written with an uncommon understanding by two men who themselves are science teachers. The coverage of the scientific achievements of Milne, on the other hand, is brief. Details of his seismological work can be better learned from more technical sour

摘要:
Earthquakes constitute one of the most damaging natural disasters. Their prediction, whether short‐ or long‐term, is of vital importance in nations such as India and China in which dense populations are housed in nonresistant structures. Forewarning would significantly mitigate the consequences of earthquake occure

摘要:
The Fall Meeting has been dubbed “Planet Earth Week,” in part to salute the upcoming 7‐week PBS television series and university course that will be previewed at the meeting. At least four of the seven 1‐hour segments of “Planet Earth” will be shown daily at the the Fall Meeting. AGU provided some of the seed money for the new series, which will have its television premiere on Wednesday, January 22, 1986, on PBS at
