《陸移海轉》《南極的故事》《科學新發現》




至於海洋科學鑽探對我個人的影響?二十五年前讀了一本由布里格斯(Peter Briggs)所寫、今日世界出版社翻譯成中文發行的「陸移海轉」這本書,深深被書中所描寫莫荷計畫的來龍去脈以及深海鑽探計畫最初幾個鑽探航次的精采情 節所吸引,而決定走上海洋研究一途,並跑到書中一再提及的史克瑞普斯海洋研究所深造。如今教書、做研究,回想起來,可真要說:「作夢都想不到,一本描寫海 洋鑽探研究的小書,竟影響了我的事業生涯!」海洋科學鑽探

譬如說本書末篇

 Mohole, Project, program proposed in 1957 to drill a hole down to the boundary between the crust and the mantle, known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity at about 4 to 43 mi (7 to 70 km) below the earth's surface. Initiated by the American Miscellaneous Society, a loose organization of scientists, the main purposes of the project were to determine the nature of this boundary and to attempt to fill gaps in the geologic record from samples of the rocks encountered. The technology of such a project, however, was beyond the state of drilling technology at that time. Groups such as the National Science Foundation and the National Academy of Science eventually backed phase 1, in which five holes were drilled off the coast of Mexico, the most successful entering 601 ft (183 m) into the ocean floor under 2.2 mi (3.5 km) of water. The project was abandoned by 1966, as funding to support the ever-increasing costs of the project failed to gain congressional approval. Nevertheless, ship positioning and design, along with deepwater drilling technology developed for Project Mohole, were employed in the Deep Sea Drilling Project and future drilling projects.
