Abstract
IN MANY WAYS geophysical experiments are like space research, requiring major logistic efforts and expensive vehicles to carry even a simple instrument to the remote and largely inaccessible environment. To the general public, geophysical studies seldom have the glamor or excitement of an experiment in space: our launches are seldom televised, and our successes (or failures) are chronicled in the drier pages of scientific journals. But to the geophysicist the research offers many challenges: there are still many mountains to be climbed and mysteries to be solved. Only after we better understand the physical mechanisms of our environment will we have any hope of controlling it. Then, perhaps, people will no longer say that everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it.
