摘要:
Science has long been dominated by men, but women are now entering the sciences [Widnall,1988[, including ocean sciences, in large numbers. Indeed, women constitute 64% of the entering work force [Task Force,1988]—white women 42%, nonwhite women 13%, and immigrant women 9%. Thus, meeting oceanography's human resource needs requires that it attract and retain women.This paper addresses the question, How are we doing? I hope also to stimulate discussion on these issues, leading to identification of activites appropriate for research‐funding agencies, such as the National Science Foundation, to undert

摘要:
The American Geological Institute in Alexandria, Va., has received a $250,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to provide 1990–1991 scholarships to Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans. These ethnic minority groups are currently underrepresented in the Earth sciences work force.Of about 3000 Earth science professionals in the U.S. surveyed by AGI in 1988, only 4.6% belonged to ethnic minorities, including Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans. Of total enrollment in U.S. academic programs in Earth sciences in 1987–1988, 6.5% were ethnic minorities, another AGI survey sho

摘要:
On February 20–21, 1988, the Vehicle‐Environment Interaction Workshop was held at the Applied Physics Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University, Laurel, Md., to evaluate the current understanding of the physical and chemical processes that occur when vehicles in low Earth orbit (LEO) interact with the ambient atmosphere, the unique characteristic of this environment being 8‐km/s impact velocity of the incoming atoms and molecules. Most of the papers on the first day were devoted to the phenomenology and interpretation of space vehicle glows, whereas on the second day, laboratory investigations and discussions of charged particle interactions were presented.The unambiguous recognition of the phenomenon of spacecraft glows occurred when the astronauts on shuttle flight STS‐3, in March 1982, visually observed an orange glow on the shuttle surfaces visible from the flight deck [Banks et al.,1983]. Photographs showed that the glow was strongest on surfaces facing into the incoming atmosphere (the ram direction) and that it decayed with increasing distance from the surface, with a characteristic length on the order of 20 cm. The glow intensity was seen to be strongly enhanced when the rear attitude control thrusters were fired, when both surface‐related and homogenous glows were
