The International Antarctic Analysis Centre, established in 1959, is an international team of five professional meteorologists from Australia, Argentina, France, and the United States. It operates for three years, analyzing circumpolar constant pressure charts over the area south of 60° S, extending northwards to about 30° S at 00 G.M.T. The centre's main product is a monthly report, building a library of data for future research on the meteorology of the southern hemisphere and global atmospheric circulation. The Pengelly Cave Research Centre, named after William Pengelly, was founded in 1962 to advance cave research in Britain. Located at Higher Klin Quarry, Buckfastleigh, the centre aims to develop conservation-mindedness among cavers and provide a much-needed research and demonstration site. The site is well-suited for its accessibility and variety of features, addressing Britain's lag in cavern research facilities compared to other countries. Two booklets by David B. Baird, published by the Geological Survey of Canada, introduce the Toke and Cape Breton Highlands National Parks, featuring outstanding photographs and informative text, making them useful guides to petrology and scenic beauty. An editorial in Biology and Human Affairs describes a novel approach to food production and storage in plants. Other articles include crop plants, ant ecology, mathematics in biology, and human learning and understanding. The first issue of Space Science Reviews, an international quarterly journal, focuses on invited review articles rather than original research. It covers topics such as weather satellites, solar disturbances, geomagnetic storms, and polar cap absorption effects. Investigations by the Government Chemist show no significant change in radiostrontium and radioceesium levels in UK drinking water during 1961, indicating that Russian nuclear tests in 1961 did not cause higher levels of strontium-90 in drinking water compared to 1959.The International Antarctic Analysis Centre, established in 1959, is an international team of five professional meteorologists from Australia, Argentina, France, and the United States.
