摘要:

Continued support for many geophysics projects is part of the fiscal year (FY) 1986 budget proposal that President Ronald Reagan sent to Congress earlier this month. Unlike many other programs that took deep cuts or were eliminated, overall funding for science held steady in the proposed budget. This budget proposal, however, did not offer the large increases that had been proposed for FY 1985 (Eos, February 14, 1984, p. 49). Figure 1 shows the trend for science outlays during the past several years.

摘要:

The recent publication inEosof communications from P. J. Baum and A. J. Dessler (October 23, 1984, p. 770) and B. Ü. O. Sonnerup (December 25, 1984, p. 1242) about the peer review process has stimulated us to contribute to the discussion this statement of the editorial philosophy and practice ofGeophysical Research Letters(GRL). GRL is, of course, a very different journal from theJournal of Geophysical Research(JGR), with different goals, function, and readership. Our contribution should not be understood as a statement of how JGR should work. The editorial goal of GRL is to provide prompt publication of urgent results of general geophysical interest

摘要:

The apparent premise upon which this collection of reports is based is that the developing countries of the world are by and large already in deep trouble and likely to become still worse off in the future unless some solution is found. In his preface, editor Asit K. Biswas saysDuring the next two decades, the population of tropical countries is expected to increase by 1.5 billion, which will account for approximately 90% of the anticipated global population increase. Provision of basic human needs to these unborn generations, and improvement of the quality of life of the present underprivileged people on this earth, is a critical challenge. If past experience is any indication, it will not be easy.
