Catastrophe of every ilk at the geophysics fest

Article Abstract:

Information presented at the meeting included: new evidence that Gaspra may be a group of giant stones bonded by gravity. New restraints on ozone-layer-depleting substances have been set by the Montreal Protocol. The Landers, CA quake of June 1992 set off seismic activity 1250 kilometers away.

Controversies hot and cold at Baltimore geophysics meeting

Article Abstract:

Seismologists debated the seismic gap theory of earthquake prediction; Rama Murthy's previously unpopular theory of the forming Earth being superheated was supported by recent experiments; and new data supported the theory that volcanoes may have caused ice ages.
