At the annual meeting of the American Geophysics Union (AGU) in San Francisco on 7-11 December, catastrophes came in all sizes. On the molecular level, atmospheric chemists had news about the manmade compounds destroying the ozone shield-and for once the news was good. More earthshaking were signs of long-distance connections among earthquakes. And from farther afield came reports of odd-shaped debris from mini-planet collisions.
在 12 月 7 日至 11 日于旧金山举行的美国地球物理联合会(AGU)年会上,各种规模的灾难都有报道。在分子层面上,大气化学家们带来了关于破坏臭氧层的人造化合物的消息——而这一次的消息是好的。更具震撼力的是地震之间远距离联系的迹象。更远的地方则有来自迷你行星碰撞的奇怪形状碎片的报告。
