摘要:

A new compound that acts as a superconductor at a temperature of 77 Kandshows evidence of the onset of superconductivity at 93 K has been found to have an atomic structure related to that of perovskite (Figure 1). The compound's structure was presented at two scientific meetings on March 18, 1987, by a group from the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington (Washington, D.C.).

摘要:

The 1986 Fall Business meeting was held on Tuesday, December 9, 1986, in conjunction with the Geomagnetism/Paleomagnetism (GP) Section luncheon. The meeting consisted of numerous short announcements and news items of interest to the GP audience. Highlights are included below, while other topics are covered by longer items elsewhere in this edition of the GP Compass.

摘要:

Each of the sections of AGU has been requested by Council to adopt a set of bylaws. The Union has provided a set of model bylaws that each section can adapt to its own particular needs. At t h e request of Bob Helliwell, I have taken the model bylaws and attempted to alter them to better reflect the needs of the SPR Section. I n doing so, I have made several proposed changes in t h e operation of the SPR Section. The first one to note is that the draft bylaws call for only three sections and not four. This is to create three more equal subdivisions in SPR. Even with the SC and SS section programs combined, as SS and SC have been at recent meetings, they have not sustained a full program during the meeting. The other important change is a limitation on the term of the secretaries. This is not any reflection on the past or present performance of our secretaries but rather an acknowledgment of the strong influence that they wield on t h e intellectual directions of the section and the feeling that this influence should be shared among many individuals over the course of time. The section does not lack talented individuals who would be good secretaries.

摘要:

You can extend your commitment to the continuing vitality of geophysics by helping AGU to build funds that will provide for new initiatives and assist in funding some of the nonrevenue programs of AGU, such as the congressional science fellowship, minority student scholarships, and student travel grants. The AGU Development Committee is seeking gifts and contributions toward building the endowment of the Union: The vitality of AGU and the vitality of geophysics march hand in hand.Four categories of supporting membership are offered by the Union: Individual Supporting Member $80 per year Life Supporting Member $1,500 Sustaining Member $5,000 Benefactor $10,000

摘要:

At the recent meeting of the European Geophysical Society, at Christian‐Albrechts University (Kiel, Federal Republic of Germany (FRG)), the program included a symposium entitled “Production and Global Transport of Dust and Soot in the Earth's History.” This was mainly concerned with “nuclear winter.” Chairing the morning session was P. Crutzen (Max‐Planck‐Institut für Chemie, Mainz, FRG), who pointed out that this symposium was dominated by speakers from the United States and that this possibly reflected the attitude of European governments on nuclear w
