Now the sponsor of the resolution, Dr. Gene Blanton, of the English Department, says that he intends to withdraw the resolution at the January 14 meeting of the senate. 13lanton stated in the January 6 edition of the Anniston Star that, because of comments made by several members of the Board of bstees, the wssibility of dropping the resolution was strong. According to that article, trustee Paul Carpenter said, "It (the vote) wouid make absolutely no difference in my opinion. We have studied the entire situation, and we are satisfied with the decision." Another board member, Dwaine Luce, stated, "....the bard is responsible for running the school, and the faculty is responsible for iristructing the students." Echoing the sentiments of Carpenter, he added, "'I'he board has inade its decision and the board, in my pinion, will stand by its decision." According to Dr.

  • Asymmetric Terracing of Lunar Highland Craters: Influence of Pre-Impact Topography and Structure
    Proc. L~lnorPli~nel. Sci. Corrf. /Of11 (1979), p. 2597-2607 Printed in the United States of America Asymmetric terracing of lunar highland craters: Influence of pre-impact topography and structure Ann W. Gifford and Ted A. Maxwell Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institition, Washington, DC 20560 Abstract-The effects of variable pre-impact topography and substrate on slumping and terrace for- mation have been studied on a group of 30 craters in the lunar highlands. These craters are charac- terized by a distinct upper slump block and are all situated on the rim of a larger, older crater or a degraded rim segment. Wide, isolated terraces occur where the rim of the younger crater coincides with a rim segment of the older crater. The craters are all located in Nectarianlpre-Nectarian highland units, and range in age from Imbrian to Copernican. A proposed model for formation of slump blocks in these craters includes the existence of layers with different competence in an overturned rim of the pre-existing crater. Such layering could have resulted from overturning of more coherent layers during formation of the Nectarian and pre-Nec- tarian craters. A combination of material and topographic effects is therefore responsible for terrace formation. Similar terrain effects may be present on other planets and should be considered when interpreting crater statistics in relation to morphology. INTRODUCTION Slumping, terracing or wall failure is an important process in formation and mod- ification of lunar craters. The process of slumping has been investigated by both geometrical (Cintala et a1 ., 1977) and theoretical models (Melosh, 1977; Melosh and McKinnon, 1979); however, these studies are dependent on morphologic constraints imposed by the geologic setting of the craters.

  • 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.

    5 Escape of Atmospheres to Space So far, our discussion of atmospheric evolution has circumstances: Jeans’ escape, where individual mol- concentrated on atmosphere and climate fundamentals. ecules evaporate into a collisionless exosphere, and Climate constrains possible life and, as we will see later hydrodynamic escape, which is a bulk outflow with a in this book, the way that climate is thought to have velocity driven by atmospheric heating that induces an evolved can explain many environmental differences upward pressure gradient force (e.g., Johnson et al., between Earth, Venus, and Mars. Climate is closely tied 2013d; Walker, 1982). (ii) Suprathermal (or nonthermal) to the composition of a planet’s atmosphere, which deter- escape is where individual atoms or molecules are mines the greenhouse effect. Consequently, to understand boosted to escape velocity because of chemical reactions how climate has changed over time, we must consider or ionic interactions. Finally, (iii) impact erosion is where how atmospheric composition has evolved. In turn, we atmospheric gases are expelled en masse as a result of must examine how atmospheric gases can be lost. large body impacts, such as the cumulative effect of Gases are lost at an atmosphere’s upper and lower asteroids hits. Of these three types, nonthermal escape is boundaries: the planet’s surface and interplanetary space. generally slow because if it were fast the molecules would In this chapter, we consider the latter. Studies of the Solar collide and the escape would be in the thermal category. System have shown that some bodies are vulnerable to Theory suggests that the two mechanisms that can most atmospheric escape (Hunten, 1990).
