摘要:
The 13‐person NSF Advisory Committee for Physics met in Washington the week of October 19 to discuss, among other topics, the future of the Foundation, the physics budget for this year, and new guidelines for proposals. Robert A. Eisenstein, the new director of NSF's Division of Physics, discussed problems facing the United States and the perception that science and technology are the solution to these problems. Amajor challenge is convincing Congress that NSF can contribute to the solution of these problems, but not solve them entirely on its ow

摘要:
The National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences has hired two new rotators to serve as program directors, as part of the ongoing visiting scientists program. The new directors are Jonathan Fink in Geochemistry and Petrology, and L. Douglas James in Hydrological Sciences.Fink has exchanged roles for 1 year with NSF's John Snyder, who is on sabbatical at Arizona State University. Fink's current research includes studies of how the Theological properties of magma govern the emplacement of volcanic domes and lava flows, and the gravitational control on their mass movements. This research extends to the mechanisms of igneous intrusion and interpretation of volcanic features in extraterrestrial and submarine environments.
