摘要:

This Symposium is intended to provide a comprehensive survey of regional gravity surveys recently completed or in progress in the western United States with the objects of preventing duplication of effort in the future and of stimulating work in the more poorly surveyed areas. The U. S. Geological Survey and several university departments have already agreed to participate. In order to be fully successful, this Symposium should include accounts of all unpublished regional gravity work in the West. It is requested that any organization, which can contribute to the Symposium and has not yet received an invitation, contact the Program Chairman as soon as possible.

摘要:

The Thirteenth General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics held in California last August was a stimulating scientific meeting, an eminently successful and portentous administrative session, and a thoroughly delightful international social event. It brought together more than two thousand geophysicists and geodesists from forty‐seven countries for two weeks on the beautiful Berkeley campus and provided splendid opportunities for pre‐Assembly meetings and post‐Assembly conferences and excursions.The principal purpose of the Assembly—to provide an opportunity for communication among scientists—was admirably served by the breadth and depth of the scientific discussions, by the delightful intimacy and informality of the residence halls in which most of the participants and their families lived for two weeks, and by the many formal and informal conferences devoted to planning an expanding list of international programs in the several aspects of geophysics. Peripheral to the scientific communications, but essential to their successful continuance, were the administrative meetings concerned with the business and organizational affairs of the Union and the Ass

摘要:

The September 1963 issue ofTransactions, American Geophysical Union, gave prominent attention to the formation and early activities of the Committee on Status and Needs. The Committee remains active as the recipient of a grant from the National Science Foundation, winch was given for studies to advance the science of Hydrology.

摘要:

In a review of the book,Continental Drift, which I edited, G. J. F. MacDonald makes an error of fact which is likely to mislead the reader [seeTransactions, 44, 1963]. He states that several of the contributors, because of their enthusiasm for continental drift, make a careful selection of data, and he mentioned my omission to refer to ‘the scholarly and unbiased investigations of Cox and Doell, 1960’ as an exam

摘要:

This book is a translation of 20 short papers on well logging and exploration geophysics prepared by members of the I. M. Gubkin Institute of the Petroleum‐Chemistry and Gas Industry, Moscow. A wide range of topics is treated, but often in a superficial manner, as indicated by the length of the papers. The longest are 14 pages, and four papers are 5 pages or less.The topic treated most fully is neutron logging, the subject of three papers. D. A. Kozhevnikov in two papers develops a theory for the spatial distribution and energy spectra of neutrons in hydrogen‐rich media, and compares previously published data (many from the United States) on the penetration of neutrons with his theory. The third paper by Yakubson and Guberman describes model experiments in which energy spectra of thermal and epithermal neutrons are observed in a well‐like enviro

The National Academy of Sciences held its Centennial celebration in Washington, D. C., on October 21–24, 1963. More than 750 members of the Academy, guests, and delegates from various foreign and domestic academies and organizations attended the commemoration of the establishment of the Academy by a Congressional Act of Incorporation signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Frederick Seitz, President of the Academy, and members of the Council received the delegates. Highlights of the occasion included the Convocation address given by President Kennedy in Constitution Hall on the afternoon of October 22. Secretary of State Dean Rusk held a reception in honor of foreign guests in the evenin

摘要:

Ingenieur A. Volker, Chief of the Service for Water Management of The Netherlands' Department of Public Works, addressed the meeting of the Geophysical Society of Hawaii, the mid‐pacific regional group of AGU, on August 8, 1963. His subject, ‘The Struggle against the Sea in The Netherlands’ concerned the hydraulic and hydrologic problems in the reclamation of normally submerged soils, salt water intrusion, groundwater in coastal areas, and enclosure of tidal inlets. With obvious application to The Netherlands, the subject was also felt to be of interest in Hawaii.A second meeting was held at the Agricultural Engineering Institute of the University of Hawaii on Thursday, October 17, 1963. George P. Woollard, Director of the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics, spoke on ‘Plans in Geophysics in

摘要:

This is one of a series of reports prepared periodically during and since the IGY/IGC period. It is based on summaries issued by the World Warning Agency (AGIWARN), National Bureau of Standards, Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and on compilations of Solar‐Geophysical Data issued by the Central Radio Propagation Laboratories (CRPL), NBS, Boulder, Colorado. The former are prepared under the direction of Kent D. Boggs, Head, AGIWARN, and the latter under the direction of J. Virginia Lincoln, Chief, Radio Warning Services Section, NBS.Various earlier Bulletins have carried past reports on solar‐geophysical activity and AGIWARN decisions; reports covering the first and second halves of 1961 appear in Bulletin Nos. 52 and 57, respectiv
