Published: October 2011

An 8‐inch 9‐track magnetic tape containing data that express the topography of California plus an accompanying report was released recently by the U.S. Geological Survey. The tape and report, the result of a 3‐year cooperative effort of scientists of the USGS California Division of Mines and Geology, the Aeronautical Chart and Information Center, USAF, and several universities, were originally intended to help interpret measurements of the pull of gravity being made in California.The data on the tape will be of immediate use to oil and mining companies conducting geophysical surveys in California and may also have applications in environmental studies such as predicting wind currents and controlling air pollution.

The Schonstedt Instrument Company's Model GA‐32 Magnetic Locator is designed for the detection of iron boundary markers, valve boxes, manhole covers, and other ferromagnetic objects.The locator consists of a probe and a set of headphones. The instrument contains two Schonstedt Heli‐Flux flux‐gate sensors spaced approximately 20 inches apart. The two sensors, which are precisely matched and aligned parallel, are connected such that their individual signals oppose each other. This arrangement minimizes the production of output signals due to the earth's magnetic field.
Harvard astronomers discover new molecule in space
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

A team of scientists from Harvard College Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has reported discovery of sulfur monoxide molecules in space.The discovery of the molecules, not previously known to exist in interstellar space, is important, the scientists said, because astronomers may be able to make inferences, through complicated theoretical interpretations, about the abundance of oxygen in space and about the processes by which the molecules are formed. A knowledge of these processes is important in understanding the evolution of stars and interstellar gases.

Published: October 2011

The U.S. Department of Commerce is offering American manufacturers and suppliers of geophysical equipment for earth‐science study, oceanography, and meteorology an opportunity to develop sales in the German market by displaying their products at a special trade exhibition to be held in Frankfurt, Germany February 11–14 , 1974.As the German economic upswing accelerates, the prospects for the sale of U.S. equipment are increased. Germany's participation in a growing number of international geophysical programs requires the application of the most advanced methods and equipment. While German researchers have long had a local supply of excellent precision mechanical apparatus, they look to U.S. sources for the more advanced and sophisticated scientific systems and instrumentation.
The President's Page: Solid‐Earth geophysics in Latin America
Authors: Aldrich L. Thomas 
Published: October 2011

Because of their topography, the regular occurrence of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions within their boundaries, and their location around the geomagnetic equator, the Andean countries have long been of worldwide interest to geophysicists. In earlier years most of the studies of the region were carried out by U.S. geophysicists, local scientists having only a minor role. The situation has changed, and now Andean geophysicists can operate independently or as partners in major undertakings. This new circumstance is of sufficient significance to merit examination of its origins and development.One factor has been the influence of major international programs, including the International Geophysical Year (IGY), the International Upper Mantle Program (IUMP), and the International Geodynamics Project. The IGY in 1957 stimulated geoscientists to go to the area. U.S. participation in the IUMP led to research activities that in turn fostered development of critical capabilities among geoscientists of the region through education and active participation in research and also led to a recognition on the part of these scientists of their common problems. The meeting in 1970 in Buenos Aires promoted by the IUMP provided one of the first international forums at which the extent of the collaboration and the development of geophysical ‘muscle’ among our Latin American neighbors was made evident.

New energy and ore finds possible through ERTS
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2011

Geologists have known for years that oil arid gas can often be found in traps controlled by fractures or faults in the earth's surface. They are learning now, however, that there are many regional fractures or ‘linears’ that have escaped detection in aerial photographs or in ground mapping.Through its multispectral scanner, the Earth Resources Technology SateUite (ERTS) photographs the entire earth every 18 days, and the images produced are showing many faults and fractures that were previously unknown. These new creases in the world's crust may some day help, solve the current energy crisis.

The President's Page: Scientific and technical advice for the Federal Government
Authors: Abelson Philip H. 
Published: October 2011

Many of the most important problems that this nation will encounter in future will have large components of science and technology. As demonstrated by the energy crisis, the government's ability to foresee and avoid such problems is limited. The federal government lacks an effective focus for science and technology.The departure of Edward David as the President's science adviser and the dismantling of the Office of Science and Technology early last year came at a moment when it was obvious that we were headed into an energy crisis. Yet in the months prior to the October Arab‐Israeli war the government dawdled with no sense of urgency in developing alternatives to foreign oil.
