PHYSICAL SCIENCES RESEARCH: COOPERATION 



Abelson, Philip H. "A New International Program." Science, v. 182, no. 4108, 

 Oct. 12, 1973. Editorial. 



Describes the origins of a new international cooperative scientific project, 

 the Geodynamics Project in earth sciences. This was initiated by scientists 

 themselves. The author of the article describes how scientists are seeldng 

 government support for additional scientific research under the project.

 cussion of the meet'iig of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics,

Potential political obstacles to the meeting, which dealt with such politi- 

 cally sensitive topics as resources, development, natural hazards and pollu- 

 tion, were overshadowed by the useful exchange of information among the 

 delegates. The author also reports on the poor representation by Soviet 

 scientists and the position of scientists from the less developed countries in 

 an international scientific meeting.

"Even as scientific and industrial activity increases in Antarctica and in 

 the Arctic, territorial sovereignty and civil and criminal legal jurisdiction in 

 the polar regions remain ambiguous, delicate matters of international political 

 balance. This work is a critical commentary and reference work, extensively 

 annotated, which examines polar developments and conflicts and their 

 implications for both international law and U.S. law affecting transnational 

 science and technology. It is the first guide to the dramatic lessons and issues 

 of the law in the polar regions to have been prepared by legal scholars and 

 science-policy specialists experienced in both polar regions and in problems 

 of foreign policy and law of the sea. It is intended for use by diplomats, 

 governmental officials, scientists, economists, political scientists and students 

 of international law. Notes, tables, and appendixes."
