  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

  • Macrobiont: Cradle for the Origin of Life and Creation of a Biosphere
    life Article Macrobiont: Cradle for the Origin of Life and Creation of a Biosphere Benton C. Clark 1,* and Vera M. Kolb 2 1 Space Science Institute, Boulder, CO 80301, USA 2 Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin—Parkside, Kenosha, WI 53141, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 4 October 2020; Accepted: 9 November 2020; Published: 12 November 2020 Abstract: Although the cellular microorganism is the fundamental unit of biology, the origin of life (OoL) itself is unlikely to have occurred in a microscale environment. The macrobiont (MB) is the macro-scale setting where life originated. Guided by the methodologies of Systems Analysis, we focus on subaerial ponds of scale 3 to 300 m diameter. Within such ponds, there can be substantial heterogeneity, on the vertical, horizontal, and temporal scales, which enable multi-pot prebiotic chemical evolution. Pond size-sensitivities for several figures of merit are mathematically formulated, leading to the expectation that the optimum pond size for the OoL is intermediate, but biased toward smaller sizes. Sensitivities include relative access to nutrients, energy sources, and catalysts, as sourced from geological, atmospheric, hydrospheric, and astronomical contributors. Foreshores, especially with mudcracks, are identified as a favorable component for the success of the macrobiont. To bridge the gap between inanimate matter and a planetary-scale biosphere, five stages of evolution within the macrobiont are hypothesized: prebiotic chemistry molecular replicator protocell ! ! macrobiont cell colonizer cell. Comparison of ponds with other macrobionts, including ! ! hydrothermal and meteorite settings, allows a conclusion that more than one possible macrobiont locale could enable an OoL.

  • 13. Martian Cratering and Implications for the Chronostratigraphy
    13. Martian Cratering and Implications for the Chronostratigraphy The record of large impact basins on differ- ent planetary bodies allows us to compare the characteristics of the heavy bombardment pe- riod and the end of planetary formation. Both the cratering record itself and the age distri- bution of the impact basins represent the pe- riod of highest impactor flux, decaying rapidly within the first half billion years of our solar system. In order to test the plausibility of the Martian chronology model (see Chapter 5), the ages of the large Martian impact basins, using the derived Martian production function, were determined and compared to lunar basin ages. For the Moon, the large basins were produced no later than about 3.8 to 3.9 Ga ago and a similar situation should exist for Mars, follow- ing the marker horizon idea (Wetherill, 1975). This idea is based on the assumption that solar system bodies have undergone a similar evo- lution since planetary formation. In the cra- Figure 13.1.: The crater size frequency distribu- tering record on any solid surface body, which tion measured for one of the oldest regions on Mars: has representative large old surface units, this Noachis Terra (map nomenclature: unit Npl1). first period of heavy bombardment is present in the general crater size–frequency distribution as well as the large basin record itself. According to our investigation, the oldest surface areas on than the visible highland surface, where crater Mars, roughly the Martian southern highlands, count ages are based on craters clearly recog- e. g.

Garvin and Jack L, Bufton NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbcqt MD 20771 One of the critical datasets for optimal selection of future lunar land_'ng sites is local, to regional-scale topography. Lunar base site selection u$11 require such data for both engineering and scientific operations purposes. The Lunar Geoscience Orbiter or Lunar Observer is the ideal precursory science mission from which to obtain this required information. We suggest that a simple laser altimeter instrument could be employed to measure local-scale slopes, heights, and depths of lunar surface features important to lunar base planning and design. For this reasor_ we have designed and are currently constructing a breaaZmard of a Lunar Observer Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument capable of acquiring contiguous- foo_t_n'nt topographic profiles u_th both 30-ra and 300-m along.track resolution. This instrument meets all the set_ne weight, pouz,r, size, and data rate limitations imposed by Observer-class spacecraft. In ad_'tion, LOLA would be capable of measu_ng the wlthinfoo_nt vertical roughness of the lunar surface, and the 1.06_m relative surface reflectiv#y at normal incidence. We have used airborne laser altimeter data for a few representative lunar analog landforms to simulate and analyze LOLA performance in a 100-km lunar odoit. We demonstrate that this system in its highest resolution mode (3_m ddameter foo_t_n'nts) would quantify the topography of all but the very smallest lunar landforms.

INTRODUCTION Beyond the Earth, the Moon is the only planetary body for which we have samples from known locations. The analysis of these samples gives us “ground-truth” for numerous remote sensing studies of the physical and chemical properties of the Moon and they are invaluable for our fundamental understanding of lunar origin and evolution. Prior to the return of the Apollo 11 samples, the Moon was thought by many to be a primitive undifferentiated body (e.g., Urey 1966), a concept shattered by the data returned from the Apollo and Luna missions. Ever since, new data have helped to address some of our questions, but of course, they also produced new questions. In this chapter we provide a summary of knowledge about lunar geologic processes and we describe major scienti! c advancements of the last decade that are mainly related to the most recent lunar missions such as Galileo, Clementine, and Lunar Prospector. 1.1.1. The Moon in the planetary context Compared to terrestrial planets, the Moon is unique in terms of its bulk density, its size, and its origin (Fig. 1.1a-c), all of which have profound effects on its thermal evolution and the formation of a secondary crust (Fig. 1.1d).
