Harlan Smith, chairman of the University of Texas's Astronomy Department, discusses a mobile lunar laser ranging station which could help determine the exact rates of movement between continents and help geophysicists understand earthquakes. He also discusses its application for studying fundamental concepts of cosmology and physics. (Editor/RK)

The last two decades of collecting evidence to support the plate tectonic theory is reviewed. Discussion also involves how other terrestrial plants show evidence of once having been hot but with long-term stability and no continuing convection. (Author/SA)

Scientists describe to non-scientists the significance of lunar research and synopsize the major findings and the implications for understanding the earth's physical history. (BR)
