Many societies have migrated or
changed dramatically due to clima
tic changes, John E. Griffiths, Texas
A&M University Lecturer for
’74-’75, said Monday. His presenta
tion, “The Climate is Changing, ” is
the second of this year’s University
Lectures Series.
Griffiths, a transplanted En
glishman, summed up his lecture
with a quotation from Fortune, a
financial magazine: “From the an
thill perspective of a human
lifetime, it is easy to perceive the
sand-grain texture of weather but
hard to comprehend the rolling to
pography of climate. Perhaps the
most crucial insight to be gained
from what the climatologists are
learning is not some exact forecast of
future climate, but rather that cli
mate is, for calculational purposes,
not a constant factor.
“Rather, it appears to be a wildly
fluctuating variable and a more im
portant problem than others that we
know a lot more about. In writing
the equations for mankind’s survival
we’d better allow plenty of margin
for error.”
Griffiths, a faculty member in the
Meteorology department since
1967, used the western migration of
the Vikings from the then increas-

ingly cold areas of Northern Europe
as an example of the effects of chang
ing climates. He noted that the
average global temperature is only
15 degrees farenheit warmer than
during the last ice age when thick
ice covered large portions of Europe
and North America.
He said observation cannot prove
that a change will continue for even
one more year even if the change is
statistically valid. A classic example
of unsafe extrapolation came out in
the late 1920s, he said.
He turned on a slide projector
which illustrated two graphs on the
screen behind him. The graphs
closely followed each other for
about half the horizontal axes.
After that point, the graphs rose
and fell with no evident correlation.
“These men found a correlation
between the level of Lake Victoria
and the occurrence of sun spots, ” he
said. “Their theory was backed by
observations from 1890 to 1930.
“They submitted their paper
about here, ” he said, indicating the
point on the graphs just before the
correlation ended.
Griffiths said the determining
causes of climate are solar radiation,
the radiation receiving surface, the
earth’s rotation, topography and
Prof given radar patent
Dr. Robert R. Unterberger, pro
fessor of geophysics, was given fi
nancial support for exploring the
Jefferson Island salt mine on the
coast of Louisiana. He was notified
that he was awarded a German pa
tent for guiding the drilling of oil
wells, both with radar.
He has been working with radar
since World War II when he was
trained and prepared to precede the
U. S. invasion on to the shores of
Japan by three days. He was to be
left on the beach to jam the Japanese
radar. Fortunately, the invasion
didn’t take place.
His work with radar continued
and Unterberger is currently being
funded in his research by five U. S.
two Canadian and Belgium salt
companies which are using the re
sults of his radar mapping of their
mines.
“The Diamond Crystal Salt Co. is
starting a new mining level in their
Jefferson Island mine at the 1,500
foot level, Unterberger explained.
“Wte’re probing the salt dome with
radar to find the flanks. This avoids
any possibility of running into the
edges which could cause collapse or
flooding of the mine.”
He and a crew of both graduate
and undergraduate students are
working and commuting weekends
to complete the project.
Unterberger in his development
of radar has found he can “look”
through rock up to 5,000 feet to lo
cate water pockets, faults and other
mining problems. “We can see
ahead and prevent mistakes and
dangerous areas.”
Salt mines are also often the hx-a-
tions for oil.
land/sea configuration. He noted
some of man’s influences on these
causes.
“Have you ever been to Hous
ton?” he asked and he turned on a
slide of the smog that often shrouds
that city. He asked what effects the
smog would have on the sun’s radia
tion and how that would affect the
local climate.
“When man builds cities, he
makes them waterproof,” he said.
“Water is carried away quickly by
storm sewers so there’s much less to
evaporate. ”
The greater amounts of heat ab
sorbed by buildings and streets
were also noted by the professor.
He said the unknown effects these
changes have on the climate cause
greater amounts of rainfall over
urban areas.
“A decrease of one degree
farenheit in winter temperatures
would increase fuel consumption by
10 per cent in the Gulf area and by 3
to 4 per cent in the northern plains
state,” he said. “In some areas such
as the tropical islands a decrease of
one degree would be welcomed and
hardly noticeable.
“Thus, we see that climatic
changes of equal magnitude may
have different practical impacts on
different areas. ”
He said the human race may be
poised on a thin climatic knife edge
where the far-reaching effects of its
activities are unknown.
“Perhaps the climate is balanced
delicately,” he said. “A small
change may have far-reaching ef
fects while an equal change in
another parameter may simply in
duce perturbations that will soon be
damped out. ”
Climate is a natural resource of an
area, he said, and must be used
wisely and respected.
