A glass, since it never crystallizes to form a solid, never changes phase and never has to lose heat of crystallization. Obsidian, supercooled below the crystallization point, remained a liquid. Glasses form when some physical property of a lava restricts ion mobility enough to prevent them from binding together into an ordered crystalline pattern. Aa the viscosity ofthe lava increases, fewer particles arrive at positions of order until no particle arrangement occurs before solidification. In a glaas, the ions must remain randomly arranged; therefore, a magma forming a glass must be extremely viscous yet fluid enough to reach the surface. 1he modem rational explanation for obsidian petrogenesis (Bakken, 1977:88) Some people called a time at the flat named Tok'.

CAVE ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE NSS: 1941–2006 GEORGE CROTHERS1,P.WILLEY2, AND PATTY JO WATSON3 Abstract: Like most other branches of speleology, cave archaeology in the U.S. grew and developed significantly during the mid to late twentieth century. Originally viewed as marginal to mainstream Americanist archaeology, pursuit of prehistoric and historic archaeology underground is now widely accepted as making valuable contributions to knowledge of human past. The National Speleological Society played a central role in that development and continues to do so. We outline the establishment and growth of cave archaeology in North America, with special emphasis on relations between the NSS and archaeology performed in dark zone, deep cave interiors.

This is the third report of this series. In choosing environmental science as the topic of this Report, the National Science Board hopes to focus attention on a critical aspect of environmental concern, one that is frequently taken for granted, whose status is popularly considered to be equivalent to that of science generally, and yet one whose contribution to human welfare will assume rapidly growing importance during the decades immediately ahead. The National Science Board strongly supports the many recent efforts of the Executive Branch, the Congress, and other public and private organizations to deal with the bewildering array of environmental problems that confront us all. Many of these prob­ lems can be reduced in severity through the use of today's science and technology by an enlightened citizenry. This is especially true of many forms of pollution and environmental degradation result­ ing from overt acts of man.

PAZZAGLIA Department of Earth and Environmental Science, Lehigh University, 31 Williams, Bethlehem, PA 18015, [email protected] Abstract–Rivers shape landscapes by responding to a range of external forces including climate and climate change. This paper examines the general role that Quaternary climates play in river channel form and process and how rivers in New Mexico have responded specifically to Pleistocene and Holocene climatic changes. The impact of Quaternary climates on New Mexican streams is cast in the context of how channel form and process has evolved through the Phanerozoic and in light of a large and growing data set for measurable changes in channel form and watershed hydrology over human time scales. Changes in channel form and process are commonly equivocal; there is no single unique response that follows from a given change in climate. Neverthe- less, geomorphologists have developed process-response models that limit the range of expected responses and help guide an interpretation of how Quaternary climates ultimately have shaped the New Mexican landscape. Long-term landscape evolution trends like the rate of valley incision and human-scale trends like the arroyo incision-aggradation cycle are discussed in the context of Quaternary climates. The general conclusion is that climate change through the Quaternary has had a major impact on pacing the rate of valley incision and defining the geomorphic thresholds that control arroyo incision, but that other factors, including tectonics and humans, also contribute.
