The hydrology of marsh‐ridden areas
Authors: Boelter Don H. 
Published: October 2011

The Symposium was convened by Unesco (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and organized in cooperation with the government of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, with the support of the International Association of Scientific Hydrology. Technical sessions were held in the Intourist Conference Hall of the Hotel Jubileinaya in Minsk, the Capital of Byelorussia (White Russia).The Symposium was organized within the framework of the International Hydrological Decade. It was intended to bring together specialists working in the field of hydrological problems in marsh‐ridden areas of the temperate zone to exchange experience at an international level and take account of present knowledge in the field. It should be pointed out that the Symposium was not limited to marshes as Americans think of them but dealt with all types of wetland situations including peatlands. In Soviet literature the term ‘marshes’ is somewhat synonymous with ‘wetlands,’ whereas American scientists generally consider marshes to be a specific type of wetland, i.e., grassy wet places, usually with little peat and much standing or slowly moving water.

An agreement to jointly manufacture the world's first expendable ocean salinity, temperature, depth (XSTD) measuring system has been made by Plessey Environmental Systems and The Sippican Corporation of Marion, Massachusetts. According to news releases this Expendable XSTD System provides a simple and economical method for obtaining salinity and temperature data as a function of depth from the ocean environment. It is designed for operation to depths of 750 meters over temperature and salinity ranges of −2° to 35°C and 30 to 40 ppt. Applications of the XSTD include ASW, commercial, oceanographic, and fishing investigations.It is reported that in operation the XSTD is quickly and easily launched from a moving ship and that the sensed data are transmitted through a fine wire from an expendable probe to data processing equipment on shipboard. The insulated conductor wire is dual‐spooled, allowing independent dereeling that assures vertical descent of the probe after launch from the deck of a moving vessel.

The President's Page: Need for better defense of research
Authors: Abelson Philip H. 
Published: October 2011

In many scientific establishments today the mood is one of pessimism and reassessment. The pessimism is associated with a general downgrading of the importance of science. The pessimism is also associated with an overall standstill budget and continuing emphasis on relevant work as opposed to undirected research.Unfortunately it is a deep‐seated characteristic of humans to go to extremes. When things go poorly, humans tend to be industrious in finding reasons for gloom; when prosperous, they behave as if there were no limits to resources. Going to either extreme is counterproductive. This is particularly true of pessimism. The pessimist in research is whipped before he starts. Most highly creative scientists approach their work with at least guarded optimism.

Hydro‐Analyses for the Engineer
Authors: Santeford H. S. 
Published: October 2011

This text, like many European textbooks, would have to be considered by American standards as a ‘cookbook’ approach to engineering hydrology. The major methods used in the engineering analysis of hydrologic data are clearly presented and well illustrated with examples. How ever, the only information given is how to perform these analyses.The book is an authorized translation from the Czech language edition of Nemec's text Inženýrská Hydrologic first published by SNTL, Prague, in 1964. Although not specifically stated, some updating has been done, consisting mainly of insertions in the text of references to WMO publications. (Nemec is presently Chief of the Hydrology and Water Resources Department of the World Meteorological Organization.)
Toward Uniform Hydrological Measurements
Authors: Santeford H. S. 
Published: October 2011

Recognizing the need for uniform measurement techniques in performing integrated analyses in glaciology, the Working Group of the Inter national Commission of Snow and Ice of the International Association of Scientific Hydrology prepared this guide. It is published with the intention of providing a basis for inter national cooperation in attaining standardized measurements of all three glacial balances‐heat, ice, and water.Recommendations concerning the types of measurements, equipment, and precision and frequency of observations are presented for both ‘standard stations’ and ‘special stations.’ Generally, these recommendations represent a realistic evaluation of what data are required as well as the precision that can be obtained from conventional techniques. Comments on sophisticated techniques and ‘other observations’ are also quite appropriate.
Annual sea level summary
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

Knowledge of long‐period sea level variations is extremely important in the management and engineering fields of coastal zone management, beach erosion, harbor and waterway construction, pollution abatement and control, shore and sea boundaries, and wetlands preservation; as well as in specialized aspects of tectonics, glaciology, physical and geological oceanography, geodesy, meteorology, and climatology.Since the uses to which long‐period sea level data may be applied vary widely with the above subjects, specialized data reductions and interpretations are impractical as a standard product. Conversely, raw sea level data discourage all but the enthusiastic time series analyst. As such, there is a great need for a basic reduction and presentation of sea level data in a form readily understandable and usable by this wide variety of management, engineering, and scientific interests.

Scientists suggest link between magnetic and atmospheric storms
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

Scientists have speculated for many years that a dynamic link exists between sun‐induced storms in the earth's magnetic field and global weather patterns. Now two atmospheric scientists in Boulder, Colorado, have taken another small but significant step toward identifying that link.The two investigators, Walter Orr Roberts, president of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, and Roger H. Olson, an Environmental Data Service research meteorologist with NOAA, appear to have confirmed a statistical relationship between the behavior of certain atmospheric features over the Gulf of Alaska and geomagnetic storms.

George P. Woollard is a man of huge and cheerful vitality, with an infectiously lively and critical interest in every aspect of geophysics. He has stimulated not only his students but his colleagues and collaborators all over the world. Not only does he, often without knowing it, spur them all to fresh efforts by his enthusiasms, but he has also always participated himself in the travels and the troubles and the tiresome reductions of mountains of data; and each time in the end he has surprised most of them by his quietly purposeful interpretations in terms of structural geology, his life‐long interest.For a few years, physical oceanography at Woods Hole expanded his interests to global dimensions. Then for many years, from his home base at Wisconsin, he and his men flew with gravity instruments of every conceivable type to every continent and to every island airport in the world, seeking first the most trustworthy gravity measurements, and next the most thoroughly reliable interpretation of the gravity maps they drew together.
Magnetic breath of lunar rock
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

The following information was received from Vadim Levsky, a correspondent from the Novosti Press Agency.During the Soviet Lunokhod‐2 mission, several characteristic parts of the lunar surface have been given names, so far unofficial. The name ‘Borozda Pryamaya’ (Straight Furrow) is the most frequently repeated nowadays. This furrow has been the source of constant argument while the Lunokhod had been moving in its direction. The furrow presents a great tectonic fracture. According to initial estimates its width is just under 1000 feet, its depth several dozen feet, and its length… This is where the selenologists first made a mistake. The fracture extends almost strictly in the north‐south direction and seems to be located entirely within the sea area, ending in a fan of crevices in the Circular (Kruglaya) Bay. Simulation has enabled the scientists to determine that the fracture extends far into the continental part of the lunar surface (to a distance of not less than 9.5 miles). The length of the open part of the fracture in the sea area is approximately the same. This brings the total length close to 20 miles. Selenologists are inclined to regard this figure as approximate, believing that further investigations will introduce corrections.

Published: October 2011

A Penrose Conference on The Relationship between Linear Volcanic Chains, Melting Spots, and Plate Motions will be convened by Marvin A. Lanphere and G. Brent Dalrymple, May 19–24, 1974, at the Asilomar Conference Grounds, Pacific Grove, on the Monterey Peninsula, California.The purpose of the conference is to examine in detail the relationships between major linear volcanic chains, their proposed melting spots, and plate motions and t o evaluate the validity of the melting spot hypothesis. Primary emphasis will be on the petrology, geochemistry, and geochronology of volcanic chains, the geophysical characteristics of proposed melting spots, melting spot models a n d the adequacy of theoretical mechanisms to account for the observed geologic, geochemical, and geophysical features of the chains, and the relations between relative plate motions deduced from linear volcanic chains and from magnetic anomaly patterns at spreading ridges. An important goal of the conference will be to promote interaction between earth scientists concerned mainly with the relationship of plate geometry to melting spot mechanisms, and those concerned primarily with detailed field, petrologic, and geochemical studies.

Published: October 2011

A team of U.S. scientists has succeeded in measuring variations in the 235,000‐mile distance to the moon with an accuracy of about 6 inches. In the next year or so, they hope to narrow this accuracy to about 1 inch.‘Our purpose is to provide better data on the relative motions of the earth and moon,’ says James Faller, Chairman of the Lunar Ranging Experiment (LURE). ‘This information then can be used to study continental drift, to measure the wanderings of the earth's poles, to learn more about the complex phenomena inside the earth, and to determine the mass distribution in the interior of the moon.’
