Comment [on “Deep‐penetration heat flow probes raise questions about interpretations from shorter probes” by Géli et al.]
Authors: Fisher A. T. , Villinger H. , Pfender M. , Müller M. , Grevemeyer I. , Kaul N. , Harris R. N. , Von Herzen R. P. , Wheat C. G. 
Published: October 2006

Géli et al. [2001] (Eos, 17 July 2001, p.317) present sub‐sea floor thermal profiles collected with temperature sensors and data loggers attached to 18‐m‐long sediment cores. Some of these thermal profiles include significant non‐linearities, particularly within the shallowest 5 m below sea floor (mbsf). Géli et al. [2001] assert that thermal data collected with data loggers attached to long core barrels provide a more precise means of interpreting marine heat‐flow data than do thermal data collected with shorter, conventional heat flow probes. This assertion is not supported by the data presented.Géli et al. [2001] also suggest that the observed non‐linearities are indicative of perturbations to steady‐state, conductive conditions within sea‐floor sediments resulting from recent changes in bottom water temperature (BWT) or pore fluid flow. We contend that the data shown by Géli et al. [2001] are more likely explained by sampling artifacts or errors in interpretation's described below. Each of these possibilities must be confidently eliminated before one can interpret the data to indicate bottom‐water temperature changes or fluid flow. We also urge taking a more balanced view of the strengths and weaknesses of sea‐floor, heat‐flow data collected with different tools, and caution against dismissing data collected with conventional probes as being generally less reliable than those collected with long piston cores.

With the International Astronomical Union's formal announcement on 16 May of 11 newly‐discovered moons orbiting Jupiter, the number of known moons around that planet now totals 39. This is the largest number orbiting any planet in the solar system, and nine moreEach of the newly‐found Jovian moons measures 2 to 4 kilometers in diameter, and they are irregular satellites with large, elongated, and inclined orbits.
Reply [to “Comment on ‘Evidence suggests slab melting in arc magmas’”]
Authors: Defant Marc J. , Kepezhinskas Pavel 
Published: October 2006

We are grateful for this opportunity to elaborate upon our ideas. R. Conrey has conveniently numbered his thoughts, and therefore, we will address them using his order. But first a few remarks about his general comments.We have never implied that slab melting is a “common process” and that many arc volcanoes are composed “dominantly of adakite.” In fact, we emphasized that Drummond and Defant [1990] were correct in their interpretation that adakite production has vastly decreased since the Archean because less young crust subducts today. Although there are about 10–15 current adakite‐producing regions, this is certainly not a great deal compared with the extent of “regular” arc volcanism on the planet.
Pub Matters @ AGU: Color in AGU journals
Authors: Anonymous  
Published: October 2006

A major advantage of electronic publication is that it costs no more to deliver a color figure online than a black‐and‐white one. Printing color is, however, still a costly proposition. When publishing each article as soon as it is ready another significant advantage of electronic publication, the placement of the color pages within the subsequent printed version of the journal can no longer be controlled.For a variety of reasons, articles in the printed version of AGU journals appear in the order in which they were published. Economical reproduction of printed color requires grouping the color in as few signatures as possible. (A signature is a group of 16 or 32 pages that is printed at the same time on a single sheet.)

McEvilly was an AGU Fellow, and a member of the Seismology Section (1957).His contributions to geophysics ranged widely particularly in seismology. His many publications investigated, among other topics, seismic crustal profiling, earthquake source properties, test‐ban treaty verification methods, earthquake prediction, and seismographic instrumentation. He was also a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and an honorary member of the Seismological Society of America. McEvilly served on many scientific advisory committees for government, university and professional organizations, including UNESCO, the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of Energy he also held the notable position of chairman of the Committee of Seismology of the National Academy of Science/National Research Council from 1981 to 1983.
Brunhes' research revisited: Magnetization of volcanic flows and baked clays
Authors: Laj Carlo , Kissel Catherine , Guillou Hervé 
Published: October 2006

On 21 April 1906, at a meeting of the Société Francaise de Physique, Bernard Brunhes (Figure 1) addressed his colleagues on an important discovery concerning the magnetization of several formations in the volcanic Massif Central. The talk was published in the Journal de Physique in November of the same year under the title “Recherches sur la direction de l'aimantation des roches volcaniques” [Brunhes, 1906].This title only partially reflects the contents of his paper, which focused mostly on the magnetization of baked clays underlying lava flows, rather than on the flows themselves. This subject had stimulated Brunhes' interest since his appointment as professor at the Université de Clermont‐Ferrand and director of the Observatoire du Puy de Dôme on 1 November 1900. His first investigations on the subject, with Pierre David, date back to 1901–1902, almost exactly 100 years ago.

CONTOUR investigation launched
Authors: Showstack Randy 
Published: October 2006

On 27 August, NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe appointed a team to investigate the apparent loss of the Comet Nucleus Tour (CONTOUR) spacecraft, which stopped communicating with the mission control operations on 15 August.On that date, CONTOUR failed to communicate following the firing of its main engine that would take it out of its orbit around the Earth. Shortly afterwards, the mission team received telescope images from several observatories showing two objects traveling along the spacecraft's predicted path. Those objects could be CONTOUR, and part of the spacecraft that may have separated from it when the spacecraft's solid rocket motor fired.

Collaborative studies target volcanic hazards in Central America
Authors: Bluth Gregg J.S. , Rose William I. 
Published: October 2006

Central America is the second‐most consistently active volcanic zone on Earth, after Indonesia. Centuries of volcanic activity have produced a spectacular landscape of collapsed calderas, debris flows, and thick blankets of pyroclastic materials. Volcanic activity dominates the history, culture, and daily life of Central American countries.January 2002 marked the third consecutive year in which a diverse group of volcanologists and geophysicists conducted focused field studies in Central America. This type of multi‐institutional collaboration reflects the growing involvement of a number of U.S. and non‐U.S. universities, and of other organizations, in Guatemala and El Salvador (Table 1).

The Wind Program in the future
Authors: Ogilvi K. W. , Desch M. D. 
Published: October 2006

Launched in November 1994, the Wind spacecraft is several years beyond its design life and well into the extended mission phase. Consequently in 2001, NASA decided that henceforth, Wind should be kept at the forward libration point to be used as a “hot spare” for the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft.Nonetheless, despite its age, Wind has proven reliable, long‐lived, and highly productive, and it continues to produce solar wind magnetic field and other data of the highest quality. Thus, NASA has accepted a proposal to continue Wind operations in a cost‐effective manner to ensure that data will be taken continuously and archived in level‐zero and in key parameter form for use by the entire scientific community.
Western North Atlantic Paleogene and Cretaceous Paleoceanography, Geological Society Special Publication No. 183
Authors: Arthur Michael A. 
Published: October 2006

Many of us who have been associated with ocean drilling for a long time possess shelf after shelf of thick, meaty Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Blue Books and Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) volumes. At least one volume was produced to describe the results of each 2‐month drilling leg, and these were followed by papers and data reports on post‐cruise research.These treasure troves of data and descriptions have been extensively plundered by enterprising synthesizers of ocean history. Their beauty lies in the collective wisdom accumulated in a single volume. Stratigraphic details and myriads of measurements tied to downhole lithology provide unlimited possibilities for interesting interpretation and speculation. Lamentably, to some, publication of these volumes ceased several years ago and electronic archives in the form of CD‐ROMs and Internet‐accessible publications took their place, in part. As a result, the ODP publications now contain primarily shipboard results, and the post‐cruise scientific papers have migrated to outside journals.

Hurricane! Coping With Disaster
Authors: Lifland Jonathan 
Published: October 2006

A new AGU book, Hurricane! Coping With Disaster, analyzes the progress made in hurricane science and recounts how advances in the field have affected the public's and the scientific community's understanding of these storms. The book explores the evolution of hurricane study, from the catastrophic strike in Galveston, Texas in 1900—still the worst natural disaster in United States history—to today's satellite and aircraft observations that track a storm's progress and monitor its strength. In this issue, Eos talks with Robert Simpson, the books' senior editor.Simpson has studied severe storms for more than 60 years, including conducting one of the first research flights through a hurricane in 1945. He was the founding director of the (U.S.) National Hurricane Research Project and has served as director of the National Hurricane Center. In collaboration with Herbert Saffir, Simpson helped design and implement the Saffir/Simpson damage potential scale that is widely used to identify potential damage from hurricanes.
Permafrost temperature records: Indicators of climate change
Authors: Romanovsky V. , Burgess M. , Smith S. , Yoshikawa K. , Brown J. 
Published: October 2006

Permafrost has received much attention recently because surface temperatures are rising in most permafrost areas of the Earth, bringing permafrost to the edge of widespread thawing and degradation. The thawing of permafrost that already occurs at the southern limits of the permafrost zone can generate dramatic changes in ecosystems and in infrastructure performance. In this article, we describe an emerging system for comprehensive monitoring of permafrost temperatures, a system which is needed for timely detection of worldwide changes in permafrost stability, and for predictions of negative consequences of permafrost degradation.Permafrost is rock, sediment, or any other Earth material with a temperature that remains below 0°C for two or more years. Permafrost zones occupy up to 24% of the exposed land area of the Northern Hemisphere (Figure 1) [Zhang et al., 2000]. Permafrost ranges from very cold (temperatures of −10°C and lower) and very thick (more than 500 m and as much as 1400 m) in the Arctic, to warm (within 1 or 2° of the melting point) and thin (several meters or less in thickness) in the sub‐Arctic.
El Niño suppressing storms
Authors: Showstack Randy 
Published: October 2006

A strengthening El Niño has suppressed overall tropical storm activity during the 2002 Atlantic hurricane season, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced on 25 November. The hurricane season, which ended on 30 November, produced only four hurricanes, half the number during a typical year since 1995. Eight storm systems—twice the average amount—affected the U.S., however.NOAA hurricane forecasters at the agency's Climate Prediction Center, Hurricane Research Division, and National Hurricane Center had predicted normal to below‐normal overall storm activity, due to the strengthening El Niño, according to the agency. Climate Prediction Center director Jim Laver said that gaining a better understanding of the atmospheric conditions controlling seasonal hurricane activity is at the core of the agency's extended‐range hurricane outlooks. Laver said that while 2002 was the agency's fifth straight year of issuing accurate outlooks for overall hurricane season activity, “future success depends on more research into how global and regional climate patterns affect Atlantic hurricane activity.”
