摘要:
This short article proposes a long‐range goal for the international earth science community—the exploration of the continental basement along profiles crossing major geological features in many land areas of the world via the use of the powerful seismic reflection technique widely used in petroleum exploration. The cover figure shows a map of possible routes for such surveying and illustrates the scope of the effort that is envisioned.The purpose of this effort would be to explore the third, or depth, dimension of large and important structures of the continental crust—a major frontier of modern earth science. Such observations should lead to a basic understanding of the crust and its evolution and hence provide a sound basis for enlightened utilization of this portion of the earth by ma

摘要:
It was a cold summer morning that July 6th in southern Iceland. I had on long underwear, a turtleneck shirt, and a wool shirt over that. A heavy parka covered this, and a wool cap and L.L. Bean mittens sealed out a little more of the cold. The steam rising from a bowl of hot oatmeal looked promising, as I awaited my first taste of the goo. As I looked at the oatmeal with the raisins studded through it, I noticed how much it looked like the volcanic rocks we had been studying. They were a mixture of ash, pebbles, and boulders. When erupted, either under water, under a glacier, or as a gooey mass of warm mud in a mudflow, they probably behaved the way the oatmeal will do when it slides down my gullet.

摘要:
The AGU Congressional Science and Engineering Fellows program provides an opportunity for highly qualified, accomplished scientists, engineers, and other professionals to spend a year in the office of a congressman or senator or on the staff of a committee. Fellows perform many of the same duties as regular staff members; in the past they have been involved in legislative, oversight, and investigative activities.The fellows bring to the Congress new insights, fresh ideas, and extensive knowledge and education in a variety of disciplines. Not only are fellows provided with an opportunity to make a significant public service contribution but they also obtain firsthand experience in the legislative and political processes. In short, they offer their special knowledge, skills, and competence in exchange for the opportunity to acquire experience in a unique forum and for the chance to contribute to the formulation of national policy.
