Dr. Friedemann Freund, an Adjunct Professor of Physics at San Jose State University and a scientist in Ecosystem Science and Technology Branch (SGE) and his colleagues have performed research on the (upper) compression of rocky material. This work is mentionned prominently in an article entitled "Anticipating Earthquakes" in the electronic publication "Science @NASA". Their work some day may lead to earthquake prediction. The article may be reviewed at the URL: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/11aug_earthquakes.htm?list929735

The Costa Rican Airborne Research and Technology Application (CARTA) mission held its first science workshop in San Jose , Costa Rica from 11 to 15 August. The CARTA mission flew a mass spectrometer developed by Kennedy Space Center (KSC) for Dr. Jorge Andres Diaz of the University of Costa Rica to monitor gas emissions from volcanic craters. Jeff Myers and Bruce Coffland of the Airborne Sensor Facility (ASF) are representing Ames which provided visible and infrared photography as well as multispectral imaging.

The Ames Earth Science Project Office, represented by Mike Craig and Mike Gaune, is also in Costa Rica this week carrying out a site survey for the upcoming pre-Aura Validation Experiment (AVE) field campaign to be conducted early in 2004.
