Scientific Advisory Department for Defence, Australia : Mr. A. P. Rowe, C.B.E

IT has recently been announced that a Scientific Advisory Department for Defence is to be formed in Australia under Mr. A. P. Rowe. Mr. Rowe is probably best known as the war-time chief superintendent of the Telecommunications Research Establishment, Great Malvern, where most of the research on radar for the Royal Air Force was carried out. It was not, however, in the field of radio that his first research work was done, but in investigations into the ballistic properties of bombs. This work was carried out at the Air Ministry research station at Orford Ness, and notable contributions were made to the technique of high-level bombing. A. P. Rowe's connexion with radar began when he was appointed secretary to a committee under Sir Henry Tizard undertaking a scientific survey of the problems of air defence. He soon appreciated the importance of this new technique being developed by Sir Robert Watson-Watt and his colleagues, and it was in no small measure due to his vision and enthusiasm that research was intensified with the view of establishing quickly an early warning radar system and of investigating the application of radar technique to the problems of air warfare. In 1937 he succeeded Watson-Watt as superintendent of the Bawdsey Research Station. After the outbreak of war he gathered together many leading men of science, and the Bawdsey team grew into the large establishment known as T.R.E. (Telecommunications Research Establishment). He was quick to appreciate the extreme importance of centimetric waves for radar, and under his direction research in this field was pursued at high pressure and led to many of the outstanding radar equipments developed during the War.

Efficiency of Illuminants

Fractured sedimentary bedrock and groundwater at the former Naval Air Warfare Center in West Trenton, New Jersey (United States of America) are contaminated with chlorinated solvents. Predicting contaminant migration or removing the contaminants requires an understanding of the geology. Consequently, the geologic framework near the site was characterized with four different methods having different spatial scales: geologic field mapping, analyses of bedrock drill core, analyses of soil and regolith, and S-wave refraction surveys. A fault zone is in the southeast corner of the site and separates two distinct sedimentary formations; the fault zone dips (steeply) southeasterly, strikes northeasterly, and extends at least 550 m along its strike direction. Drill core from the fault zone is extensively brecciated and includes evidence of tectonic contraction. Approximately 300 m east of this fault zone is another fault zone, which offsets the contact between the two sedimentary formations. The S-wave refraction surveys identified both fault zones beneath soil and regolith and thereby provided constraints on their lateral extent and location.
