摘要:
There is much speculation on the direction of President‐elect Clinton's science policy and who the key players to implement his decisions will be.Clinton has established nine “cluster groups” to review government agencies and their operations. The cluster group coordinators will prepare briefing books “assessing the state” of agencies, identifying trouble spots, and reviewing personnel issues. Cluster groups are looking at operations, while separate teams are developing policy and hiring sub‐cabinet‐le

摘要:
For concerned scientists frustrated by more than a decade of “business as usual” national economic and energy policy in the face of growing environmental consequences, Al Gore's book,Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit, can be viewed as a source for optimism.Twenty‐five years of world travel and studies of the Earth's ecological problems led Gore to publish his conclusions on the environment during his campaign for vicepresident of the United States. As a member of a Congressional system that relies to a great extent on the news media, legislative staff, and second‐hand reports as information sources, Gore is to be commended for devoting so much time to his personal study of the envi

摘要:
An aggressive agenda was shaped to serve the U.S. seismological community and relevant government agencies as seismology advances into the 21st century at the Committee on Seismology's meeting, held from October 22 to 23 in Washington, D.C., under the new chairmanship of Thomas H. Jordan. The Committee on Seismology is a member of the National Research Council's Board on Earth Sciences and Resources.The committee's mission is to keep track of major trends and developments in seismology and allied fields, provide timely studies for government agencies on special subjects or problems, keep abreast of international seismological activities, advise government agencies on the operation of federally supported seismograph networks and data‐dissemination facilities, and coordinate seismological‐related activities within the National Research Council, particularly in the fields of engineering seismology, rock mechanics, geodesy, geodynamics, geology, and seismic verification of nuclear test ban treat

摘要:
Robert I. Hill of the Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University, died suddenly on July 25 at age 38. Robert was a warm and generous person, a scientist with substantial accomplishments already to his credit, and a skilled lobbyist for and communicator of science. He had great potential as a scientist and as a leader of science.Robert obtained a first‐class honors degree from the ANU Geology Department in 1976 and a Ph.D. from Caltech in 1984. He went on to become a research associate at Cambridge, a research fellow at RSES, and finally, a Queen Elizabeth II Fellow there. His Ph.D. research was a field‐based study of the dynamic processes involved in the intrusion of magma into the crust. Later, he studied the sources of deep crustal fluids using helium isotopes, the geological setting of ore bodies with a variety of geochemical and geochronological methods, the occurrence of oil and gas deposits, and the processes that formed and modified the continental cr
