industrial uses found in the state's urbanareas. Even when some multiple useyields (e.g. grazing, recreation, andforestry), are added together their com-bined yield is substantially less than theannual gross income per acre obtainedfrom mineral industry activity.

MINING ENGINEER HIRED

David D. Rabb has been appointedAssociate Mining Engineer for the Ari-zona Bureau of Mines.

He has received three degrees from theUniversity of Arizona, including a B.S. inMining Engineering', 1937 (with distinc-tion); an M.S. in Metallurgy, 1939; and aProfessional Degree in Mining Engineer-ing, awarded in 1964.

In 1939, he went to work for theInspiration Consolidated Copper Com-pany as a metallurgist and continuedworking there until he went into the U.S.Army in 1941. After World War II, hespecialized in metallurgical research andplant design at the Battelle MemorialInstitute in Columbus, Ohio. He wasrecalled to active duty in 1952 and, as aLt. Colonel, served the U.S. Army

Mr. David D. Rabb, has recently joined thestaff of the Bureau as Associate M in ingEngineer.

Ordnance Corps until released from activeduty in 1957.

For the past 14 years, he has beenworking for the Lawrence RadiationLaboratory, University of California. Hiswork assignments there included metal-lurgical studies and work associated withunderground nuclear test operations.Rabb planned, supervised, and executeddrilling and mining re-entry into under-ground nuclear explosion areas.

Rabb is a member of Tau Beta Pi;American Institute of Mining, Metallurgi-cal and Petroleum Engineers; AmericanInstitute of Chemists; and the AmericanOrdnance Association. He is also aregistered professional engineer in thestates of California, Ohio, and Arizona.

The Bureau is pleased to welcome Daveto its staff.

ENVIRONMENTAL CORNERATMOSPHERIC ANALYSISLABORATORY

The Arizona Mining Assn. board ofdirectors will tour the AtmosphericAnalysis Laboratory (AAL) at the Univer-sity of Arizona Sept. 28.

Nearly a year ago the associationgranted the UA $545,179 to establish andoperate the AAL for a three-year period.

Development of precise atmosphericanalysis methodology is a primary goal ofAAL, according to Dr. Henry Freiser, UAchemistry professor and senior coinvest-igator for the project. Dr. QuintasFernando, also a chemistry professor, isthe other senior coinvestigator.

"We will be looking critically atexisting analytical techniques as well asdeveloping our own methods," noted Dr.Jarvis Moyers, AAL director.

Moyers came to the UA from theUniversity of Rhode Island Graduate

School of Oceanography where he was aresearch associate involved in a study ofglobal transport of air pollutants andparticulate matter from continentalsources.

He earned the Ph.D. in 1970 at theUniversity of Hawaii. Thesis researchcalled for the design of sampling equip-ment, collection of samples and develop-ment of analytical procedures related tothe study of marine atmosphere.

AAL will also be involved with trainingenvironmental scientists and technicians;studying the interactions between at-mospheric pollutants; and analyzing at-mospheric pollutants, Freiser said.

The 13-member board will be accom-panied by 8 or 10 mining associationrepresentatives and personnel.

Since the grant was made, a laboratorystaff has been assembled, equipmentselected and ordered and two-way com-munications with other investigatorsthroughout the world have been estab-lished.

On Oct. 15, a six-mernber miningassociation technical committee com-posed of representatives from across thecountry will visit the laboratory.

AAL consultants are Drs. Michael F.Burke and George S. Wilson, bothassistant professors in the analyticaldivision of the UA Chemistry Dept.Freiser and Fernando are also faculty ofthe division.

MUSEUM OF NORTHERNARIZONA

The Museum of Northern Arizona,located at Flagstaff, has established aDepartment of Environmental Studieswhose principal business is to admin-istrate CPEAC (Colorado Plateau En-vironmental Advisory Council). The latteris composed of more than 70 diversegroups including the Navajo and HopiIndian tribes. CPEAC also issues amonthly newsletter.

The Department of Geology, under thedirection of Mr. William J. Breed, isalways a dynamic unit, but its facilitiesare particularly taxed during the summerseason. Although the Grand Canyoncountry attracts scientists of manydisciplines, many of them are geologistswho thrive on stimulating conversation,open space, clean crisp air, and excellentoutcrops that embrace a wide diversity ofgeologic problems. The geologic effortsare brought together at the end of theseason each year in the form of asymposium on the geology of Arizonawith emphasis on the Plateau. This yearthe symposium was on September 3, theFriday before Labor Day. If you havemissed this year's meeting plan onattending the session next year.
