摘要:
In 1983 the United States declared sovereign rights and jurisdiction over living and nonliving resources in an area extending 200 nautical miles (370 km) seaward from its shores. In response to the establishment of this Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has implemented a program, called EEZ‐Scan, to systematically map the EEZ, using the Geological Long‐ Range Inclined ASDIC (GLORIA) II longrange side scan sonar system developed by the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (IOS) of Great Britain [Somers et al, 1978]. The first part of the EEZ‐Scan field program was completed in the summer of 1984, when USGS and IOS scientists surveyed the EEZ off the western conterminous United States aboard the British research vessel Farnella (Figure 1). The west coast survey, requiring 96 days of ship time and four separate legs, has resulted in virtually total sonograph coverage of the sea floor from the continental shelf break to the 200‐nautical mile limit between the Mexican and Canadian borders, an area of about 850,000 km2. Other data collected on the cruises included two‐channel digital seismic reflection and 3.5‐kHz highresolution and 10‐kHz bathymetric profiles, as well as towed magnetometer data along approximately 20,000 km of trackline spaced nominally at 30

摘要:
Many do not know that Bob Newton has an identical twin. If I were to be flip, I could say that half an egg is better than none. On the other hand, if either he or his brother Mark had come from the entire egg, the resulting Newton could have been too good to be true and might have become an Albert Einstein, or John McEnroe, or Beverly Sills, and the likelihood of his being any use to us would be slim. At any rate, this half‐Newton is being honored for his contributions to studies of high‐pressure phase equilibria. Before the extolment of any of these, let me say that aficionados of Newtonian geophysics will realize that Bob's contributions are broadly ranging and not limited to things that get squeezed in the ni

摘要:
President Ronald Reagan has signed into law the reauthorization of the Export Administration Act (EAA), first passed in 1979. The amended version of the law, signed July 12, includes a policy statement in support of “vigorous scientific enterprise. . .in accordance with applicable provisions of law. . .by means of publication, teaching, conferences, and other forms of scholarly exchange

摘要:
The 1984 water year brought extreme hydrologic conditions to most of the nation for the third year in a row, according to a summary report published recently by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Although precipitation and resulting runoff have been well above long‐term averages for most of the United States (especially in the southwest), west Texas and Hawaii have faced persistent drought

摘要:
About 30 people attended an evening panel session on combining career and family during the 1985 AGU Spring Meeting in Baltimore, Md. The panel, sponsored by the Education and Human Resources Committee, was moderated by Constance Sancetta (Lamont‐Doherty Geological Observatory (LDGO) of Columbia University, Palisades, N.Y.) and consisted of Claire Davidson (U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Reston, Va.), M. Grant Gross (Ocean Sciences, National Science Foundation (NSF), Washington, D.C. ) , and Joseph J. Morley (LDGO). Each panelist was asked to describe his or her experiences and the lessons that he or she learned from the
