摘要:
Setting up a Global Positioning System (GPS) network presents a number of practical problems in terms of techniques, equipment, fieldcraft, logistics, organization, politics, and funding. These issues are just as important to address as the more purely scientific aspects of GPS research.The National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored a 1‐day workshop in San Francisco on December 3, 1989, the first ever to focus on the practical side of organizing and managing GPS campaigns and network

摘要:
One of the most active volcanos in Iceland erupted in January after 10 years of repose. Hekla, located in southern Iceland (63.98°N, 19.70°W), erupted on January 17, according to reports from the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Network. The following account is from theGVN Bulletin,December 1990. (Local time = UT)On January 17 an eruption ejected tephra columns and fed numerous fluid lava flows from fissure vents. Local farmers noticed strong sulfurous smells around 1200–1300, 4–5 hours before the eruption began. Instruments, however, gave less than 40 minutes warning of the eru

摘要:
At its November 28–December 1, 1990, meeting in Kailua‐Kona, Hawaii, the Planning Committee (PCOM) of the Ocean Drilling Program, in association with chairpersons of ODP's scientific advisory structure, has established its Program Plan for Fiscal Year 1992 (approximately mid‐November 1991 through mid‐January 1993). ODP is the successor to the Deep Sea Drilling Project and the International Phase of Ocean Drilling, and is a consortium of countries led by the United States with a broad mandate to conduct scientific ocean drilling in the world's ocean basins. Based upon ODP's Long Range Plan (available from Joint Oceanographic Institutions, Inc., Washington, D.C.) and the scientific priorities set by ODP's thematic panels, PCOM has placed seven 56‐day drilling legs on the proposed schedule, beginning with Leg 141.The new schedule is generally consistent with long‐term ODP planning, which has stipulated that drilling operations will be concentrated in the eastern Pacific until late 1992, when the drill shipJOIDES Resolutionwill transit to the North Atlantic for operations there during calendar 1993. Each program in FY 1992 is briefly summarized below (see also Figure 1), both to alert the Earth sciences community to future opportunities for direct participation aboard the drill ship and to publicize a new ODP policy for “supplemental science” (see accompanying sidebar), which will be initiated for the period covered

摘要:
Kenneth M. Creer has received AGU's 1990 John Adam Fleming Medal 1990 for original research and technical leadership in geomagnetism, atmospheric electricity, aeronomy, and related science. The award was presented at the AGU Fall Meeting last December in San Francisco. The citation, delivered by Edward Irving, and Creer's response are presented below.
