A reconnaissance program has been carried out to identify problems caused by glaciers in a large proposed hydroelectric development in the Susitna River basin of Alaska. Balance measurements on the ...major glaciers have been initiated, and long-term balance between 1949 and 1980 has been estimated from existing photo sets. From the latter it appears that shrinking of the glac!iers, which comprise 4% of the basin area, may have contributed appreciably to the measured basin runoff. A potential instability in the drainage of Eureka Glacier, on the edge of the basin, has been identified. The glaciers of the basin seem to be largely temperate, and most of them are surging or pulsing types. Velocity measurements show seasonal variations that suggest appreciable contribution to the motion from basal sliding. A study of the moraines of Susitna Glacier, which is a surging type, indicates that no surge is imminent. Glacier-dammed lakes exist in the basin; they are small but could be enlarged by surging or other mechanisms. Some general problems in the estimation of the transport of suspended sediment are noted.

This paper presents the results of a research and development program launched by the Sprague Electric Company five years ago having a primary objective of furthering the state of the art of low ...frequency, low impedance (magnetic) shielded enclosure performance. The paper describes in detail the evaluation of shielded materials, compares several methods of measuring shielded effectiveness with theoretical performance, and details the development of ancillary devices. Discontinuities in shields such as doors, ventilation aperatures, filters, and other miscellaneous penetrations have always presented the weakest parts of shielded enclosures. This paper also treats the development of methods to improve the performance of such discontinuities to acceptable levels. Presented in graphical form is shielding information on various shield membranes and ancillary equipment -- usable as design guides to achieve a wide variety of performance requirements.
