Abstract
Studies of the geophysical aspects of man's environment will be greatly enhanced by the newly created Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA), a bureau of the Department of Commerce. This new bureau, the result of an intensive two‐year study, brings together the Coast and Geodetic Survey and the Weather Bureau. These organizations have major responsibility in the fields of seismology, oceanography, meteorology, hydrology, geodesy, and geomagnetism. Aeronomy and solar physics will complete the organizational structure of ESSA when the Central Radio Propagation Laboratory of the National Bureau of Standards is added. ESSA will be directed by Robert M. White, formerly chief of the Weather Bureau. The deputy administrator is H. Arnold Karo, former Director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. The Weather Bureau is now headed by George P. Cressman and the Coast and Geodetic Survey by James C. Tison, Jr.
