ERDA supports research in the geosciences in order to provide a sound underlay of fundamental knowledge in those areas of the earth, atmospheric and solar sciences which relate to ERDA's many missions. This research may be conducted in the major ERDA laboratories, industry, universities and other government agencies. Such support provides for payment of salaries, purchase of equipment and other materials, an allowance for overhead costs, and is formalized by a contract between ERDA and the organization performing the work. The summaries in this document, prepared by the investigators, describe the work performed during 1976, include the scope of the work to be performed in 1977 and provide information regarding some of the research planned for 1978. The Division of Basic Energy Sciences, through its Geosciences Program, supports research in geology, petrology, geophysics, geochemistry, hydrology, solar-terrestrial relationships, aeronomy, seismology and natural resource analysis, including the various subdivisions and interdisciplinary relationships, as well as their relationship to ERDA's technological needs.
