| Summary: | Establishment of the Geophysical Research Institution as an independent scientific center at the University of Copenhagen has recently been announced. The new institution is under the direction of Niels Arley and has a governing board consisting of H. M. Hanson, rector of the University of Copenhagen, Niels Bohr, director of the Institute for Theoretical Physics, and Dr. Arley. Current plans call for a research program which will include deep-sea expeditions to measure the oceans' geomagnetic field and to study magnetic characteristics of bottom samples. The Institution also plans to carry out a systematic geophysical survey of Greenland. |
