摘要:
A proposed high‐altitude survey of the United States offers an exciting and cost effective opportunity to collect magnetic‐anomaly data. Lockheed Martin Missile and Space Company is considering funding a reimbursable ER‐2 aircraft (Figure 1) mission to collect synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery at an altitude of about 21 km over the conterminous United States and Alaska. The collection of total and vector magnetic field data would be a secondary objective of the flight. Through this “piggyback approach,” the geomagnetic community would inherit invaluable magnetic data at a nominal cost. These data would provide insight on fundamental tectonic and thermal processes and give a new view of the structural and lithologic framework of the crust and upp

摘要:
The U.S. Office of Naval Research has announced two new programs to study the development and evolution of ocean waves, particularly as they are affected by winds. The first program is a 5‐year, $8 million department research initiative to study shoaling surface waves. By focusing on coastal water (excluding the surf zone) and wind and sea swell, ONR hopes to improve understanding of the physical processes affecting waves as they propagate and evolve from deep water to the edge of the surf zone. For more information, contact Thomas Kinder by phone at 703‐696‐1206 or by e‐mail at kindert@onrhq.onr.n

摘要:
As a member society in the American Institute of Physics (AIP), the AGU shares with nine other societies of physical scientists an interest in deciphering the laws of nature, and a stake in how the laws of the land affect those studies. At a time when scientists are growing more conscious of their role in promoting scientific awareness, AIP is providing AGU members with more vehicles to gather and disseminate information. As the public and, particularly, lawmakers turn to physicists for guidance in developing science policy, the AIP provides its diverse membership with several ways to spread the good news of science.

摘要:
Many Earth scientists are parents of young children, most of whom are no doubt familiar with the children's television character Barney the Dinosaur and his rendition of the names of the days of the week, sung to the tune of “Clementine.”Geologist parents should note the following fortuitous occurrences. First, the Paleozoic is divided into seven periods, Cambrian through Permian (the Carboniferous is counted here as two, Mississippian and Pennsylvanian). Second, the Cenozoic is divided into seven epochs, Paleocene through Holocene. Therefore one may sing the “Sunday, Monday…” song substituting for the days of the week the names of the periods a
