Reports findings from the Viking experiment, such as soil and atmosphere composition. (MLH)

A commentary on the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in which geologists attempted an explanation of the origins of our solar system is presented. (MR)

Summarizes the discussions and research presented at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference pertaining to the study of meteorites. (MR)

Discusses a summary of research pertaining to the Martian data from the Viking mission. This is a summary of some of the papers presented at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference. (MR)

Techniques in geochemistry continue to improve in sensitivity and scope. The exciting areas of geochemistry still include the classical fields of the origin of the elements and objects in space, but environmental crisis problems are important as well. (Author/BB)

Work reported on here includes such topics as: the origin of the solar system, a planet-crossing asteroid survey, and Mars and Venus probes. (BB)

Discusses recent research on cratering and meterorite impact on astral bodies. (MR)

Discusses and summarizes papers on lunar geology and volcanism presented at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference. (MR)

Discusses research to learn more about the interiors of the moon and planets. (MR)

Describes the results of the Viking lander's analyses of the Martian soil. Implications of these results are also included. (MA)

A review of this year's studies of the lunar core samples is presented. Included are some current interpretations and some suggested areas for further research. (MR)

The Landsat Program became the major event of 1982 in geological remote sensing with the successful launch of Landsat 4. Other 1982 remote sensing accomplishments, research, publications, (including a set of Landsat worldwide reference system index maps), and conferences are highlighted. (JN)

Projected trends regarding space exploration extrapolated from papers and conversations at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference are presented. (MR)

Summaries of different topics discussed at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference are presented to provide updated information to nonplanetologists. Some topics include Venus, isotopes, chondrites, creation science, cosmic dust, cratering, moons and rings, igneous rocks, and lunar soil. (DC)

The steady growth of the Landsat image data base continues to make this kind of remotely sensed data second only to aerial photographs in use by geoscientists who employ image data in their research. Article reviews data uses, meetings and symposia, publications, problems, and future trends. (Author/MA)
