From page 1... ...
Our rapidly expanding world population and its increasingly complex social and economic structures have many needs and problems. We are increasingly occupied with the search for new fuel and mineral resources in the earth.

From page 2... ...
The new stations have the improved capability of a digital-data-recording system and improved instrumental characteristics, and the networks provide wider global coverage. These new stations are the Seismic Research Observatories (SRO's)

From page 3... ...
The potential of such an improved system to make possible otherwise impossible studies of global and regional earth structure and of source mechanisms is immeasurable. The Panel believes that with this new system a new era in seismological services would emerge, involving, among other capabilities, routine announcements of new and more definitive earthquake parameters (location, depth, size, stress release, for example)

From page 4... ...
In addition, more permanent oceanbottom stations are certainly possible utilizing tethered buoys, acoustic data links, and oceanic telephone and telegraph cables. Data from ocean-bottom stations would greatly extend our knowledge of earth gravity, load and tilt tides, and other infraseismic phenomena as a minimum.
