摘要:
SEDCO/BP 471will sail in January 1985 on Leg 101, the first leg of the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP). Augmenting this drilling effort is a new program of support designed to stimulate and encourage the widest possible community involvement in scientific ocean drilling. The program, which will be managed by Joint Oceanographic Institutions Incorporated (JOI) under a contract from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and with the guidance of JOI's newly established U.S. Science Advisory Committee for ODP (JOI‐USSAC), will provide funds for U.S. scientists to conduct planning activities, participate in cruises, and carry out both pre‐ and post‐cruise studies. These activities are intended to complement other drilling‐related research funded directly by the National Science Foundation as described in the accompanying

摘要:
Readers of John G. Weihaupt's “Historic Cartographic Evidence for Holocene Changes in the Antarctic Ice Cover” (Eos, August 28, 1984, p. 493) may wish to consult Charles H. Hapgood, Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, Evidence of Advanced Civilization in the Ice Ages (Chilton, Radnor, Penn., 1966). The major part of this book is a presentation of the thesis that Weihaupt has independently developed: that early sixteenth century maps portray Antarctica, and in particular an ice‐free Ross Sea, and that such knowledge must have been obtained and transmitted from a remote, perhaps prehistoric, epoch. Hapgood is perhaps better known to the geophysical community for his earlier book,Earth's Shifting Crust(Pantheon, New York, 1958), which proposed that the growth of ice caps unbalances the crust so that it can, and during the Pleistocene frequently did, slide over the interior, displacing the poles several thousand kilometers.The more conservative literature on Terra Australis of the sixteenth century cartographers is extensive;Acta Cartographica, a collection of reprinted papers on historical cartography, has over two dozen references in its indexes. A plausible hypothesis by J. Enterline (Imago Mundi, 26, pp. 48–58, 1972) is that it reflects Portugese acquisition of Indonesian knowledge of Australia, the prominent embayment (Hapgood's and Weihaupt's ice‐free Ross Sea) being the Gulf of Carpentaria. Underestimation of the size of the globe forced Australia to extend over the pole, just as it forced newly discovered America to lie close

摘要:
The European Geophysical Society (EGS) has compiled a directory of interest to external geophysicists. EntitledThe External Geophysics EGS—Directory, it contains 400 addresses, telephone and telex numbers, and facsimile and electronic mailboxes. The directory can be ordered from the EGS Secretariat, Department of Physics, University College of Wales, Aberystwyth SY23 3BZ, U. K. (telex: 21563b

摘要:
The 10th General Assembly of the European Geophysical Society (EGS) took place from July 30 to August 3, 1984 at the Catholic University of Louvain, Louvain La Neuve, Belgium. Over 320 papers were presented at the Assembly, and an encouraging sign for the EGS was the continued and increased attraction of the meeting to scientists from outside Europe (particularly from North America, Australia, and Japan).The assembly witnessed several exciting developments within the EGS: for example, the recent innovation of a special interest group (Chairman: F. Neubauer, University of Köln, Federal Republic of Germany) in Planetary Physics stimulated the convening of a special symposium in Louvain La Neuve on planetary exploration and future planetary missions, at which the objectives of the special interest group were formulated in the light of the most recent developments in the field. A panel discussion during the symposium supported the Kepler mission to Mars as the next logical step in a European program of planetary exploration
