Summaries of physical research in the geosciences
The Department of Energy supports research in the geosciences in order to provide a sound basis of fundamental knowledge in those areas of the earth, atmospheric, and solar/terrestrial sciences which relate to DOE's many missions. The summaries in this document, prepared by the investigators, describe the work performed during 1978, include the scope of the work to be performed in 1979 and provide information regarding some of the research planned for 1980. The following is an outline of the research areas included: geology, geophysics, and earch dynamics (large-scale earth movements; evolution of geologic structures; properties of earth materials; rock flow, fracture, and failure; continental drilling for scientific purposes); geochemistry (geothermal fluids; static rock--water interactions; organic geochemistry; geochemical migration); energy resource recognition, evaluation, and utilization (resource definition and utilization; reservoir dynamics and modeling; magma energy resources; information compilation, evaluation, and dissemination); hydrologic and marine sciences (ground water hydrology; fresh water systems; oceanography); and solar--terrestrial/atmospheric interactions (magnetospheric physics and chemistry; upper atmosphere chemistry and physics; solar radiation; meteorology and climatology).
