Events of recent years have clearly indicated that the
United States will be making greater use of its coastal and
offshore region in the 1980's. Rational use of this area will
require the combined talents of scientists, engineers, politicians,
environmentalists and others . There will be pressures
and needs to use the coastal ocean for nuclear waste disposal,
marine mining, disposal of waste materials, and hydrocarbon
exploration: these uses will require new answers and technologies
for many important marine geological questions. In an
effort to identify these questions and determine what is needed
to answer them, a group of approximately sixty geologists and
marine scientists from academia, industry and the federal
government met for a 2-1/2 day workshop at Woods Hole in
October 1979. Initially the group looked at six uses of the
offshore region: Nuclear Waste Disposal; Sewage, Industrial
and Dredge Material Disposal; Offshore Structures; Marine
Mining; Hydrocarbon Exploration and Extraction; and Military
Related Activities .

Helium and lead isotope geochemistry of oceanic volcanic rocks from the East Pacific and South Atlantic
Graham, David W. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1987-09)The isotopic evolution of helium and lead in the Earth is coupled by virtue of their common radioactive parents uranium and thorium. The isotopic signatures in oceanic volcanic rocks provide constraints on the temporal ...
