A two-quarter introductory course in geophysics at the advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate level is described. An outline of course content is provided, and mechanics of instruction are discussed. (DT)

Presents an annotated bibliography of books, journals, and films on various subtopics of geophysics, including geodesy, seismology, granity, geomagnetism, geochronalogy, and plate tectonics. (MLH)

Describes the operation principles, construction, and accessories of a land or survey gyrocompass. Indicates an agreement within O.1 degree in the direct comparison of the gyro-north with the astronomic north. (CC)

Describes an introductory geophysics course for physics majors. (SL)

Describes a proposal for a new physics program for geology majors at the University of Rome based on a problem-oriented approach and extending the range of physics concepts covered by more traditional courses. Emphasis is put on applying physical concepts to geological problems. (Author/SK)

Examines energy production, utilization, and resources within a three-phase framework of human history: (1) small human population and low energy utilization; (2) exponential growth and exploitation of fossil fuels; and (3) a return to a steady state of energy utilization. (SK)
