THE PLASTIC HOME of Ron Kessinger of Golden, Colo., looks like something built for Martian families. The multiple-domed structure contains 1,600 square feet with no beams. Inflated plastic balloons are sprayed with foam to a thickness of five inches. The balloons are then deflated after the foam has hardened. The floor plan—two inter secting circles—contains a kitchen, a living-dining area, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a utility room. The cost excluding land was approximately $28,000. (AP Wirephoto) A technique that may have future application in remote lo cation of mineral deposits be neath ocean bottoms has been developed by Dr. Robert R. Unter- berger of the Geophysics Depart ment. The process used to survey a sub-bottom salt dome in the Gulf of Mexico was detailed in a paper Unterberger gave at the 52nd an nual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Washing ton, D. C. Unterberger’s research report is titled “A Rubidum-87 Offshore Magnetic Survey over a Salt Dome.” The AGU geomagnetism and paleomagnetism section president, Alfred J. Zmuda, said the paper is of unusual interest. The prof explained how two op tically pumped rubidum 87 mag netometers were used to positive ly identify the location of the Mississippi River delta salt dome, the site of which was previously known. One magnetometer was towed by ship along a set of precisely fixed lines over the dome. Read ings of its resonance frequency differences were plotted as a function of the survey ship po sition. A second identical magnetom eter was located at Venice, La., as a base station. Both devices have a sensitivity capable of measuring magnetic differences of one part in 3% million. Be cause of the extreme sensitivity, the ship-towed instrument was mounted in a non-magnetic skiff to minimize extraneous influ ences. The magnetometers record mag netic field in both analog and digital fashion every second, Un terberger said. By subtracting base station data from that of the ship-towed magnetometer, a magnetic anom aly was obtained over the salt dome, the top of which lay 700 feet below the ship. Thus, on the data printout, the salt dome appeared as an abrupt and easily discernible peak. Unterberger said the magnetic anomaly of the dome represented a reasonable average magnetic susceptibility for Mississippi del ta sediments “This anomaly was unobserv able before substracting the base station data,” the scientist em phasized. Development of the rubidum-87 magnetometer paired readitngs technique may make it possible to discern many types of sub bottom features. More than 2,500 scientists were in Washington for the five-day AGU professional convocation. It covered topics in environmental, earth and space sciences from the theories of continental drift and structure of the oceans and at mosphere to preliminary results of investigation of Apollo 14 moon samples.

A1 Jones, chief instructor for the Heavy Equipment Operators Training Division of EES, said the purpose is to upgrade the skills of approximately 14 semi skilled and manual laborers em ployed by Valley cities and coun ties. Classes will be held in Edin burg for two weeks, Jones said, and the men will return to their regular jobs for on-the-job train ing.
