摘要:

During November‐December 1995, the period covered by this Briefing, there was a remarkable number of Earth‐science stories in the press, far more than in any other two‐month period since Briefing began. We have decided to cover as many of them as possible here (although, as usual, by no means all). This Briefing thus comprises mostly one section. Normal service will be resumed in the next

摘要:

With the new BGS Radon Potential Map of Great Britain published,[See Topics] we focus on Northamptonshire, where reports in 1988 of finding the radioactive gas in houses sent shock waves through the local community – and aroused the interest of Leicester University geologists. With the help of local authorities, research has established the main source as the Northampton Sand Formation, at the base of which is a layer of phosphatic pebbles that are relatively rich in uranium. From more than 3000 field measurements over all rocks, a geologically defined Radon Hazard Map of the county has been compile

摘要:

The 1957–58 eruption of Capelinhos, on Faial, in the Azores, built a new volcano at the west end of the island. Erosion by the sea has subsequently destroyed over two‐thirds of this structure and will probably continue to remove much of the rest of the volcano over the next few deca
