Quarterly literature review of the remote sensing of natural resources

The Technology Application Center reviewed abstracted literature sources, and selected document data and data gathering techniques which were performed or obtained remotely from space, aircraft or groundbased stations. All of the documentation was related to remote sensing sensors or the remote sensing of the natural resources. Sensors were primarily those operating within the 10 to the minus 8 power to 1 meter wavelength band. Included are NASA Tech Briefs, ARAC Industrial Applications Reports, U.S. Navy Technical Reports, U.S. Patent reports, and other technical articles and reports

Data bases and data base systems related to NASA's Aerospace Program: A bibliography with indexes

This bibliography lists 641 reports, articles, and other documents introduced into the NASA scientific and technical information system during the period January 1, 1981 through June 30, 1982. The directory was compiled to assist in the location of numerical and factual data bases and data base handling and management systems

Geologic Evaluation of Critical Prodcution Parameters for Coalbed Methane Resources

Coalbeds of the United States contain an estimated 200 to 800 Tcf of unconventional gas, much of which is in seams that are unminable or uneconomic (GRID, 1985). Early studies of coalbed methane by the U.S. Bureau of Mines were directed toward degasification in advance of underground coal mining (Rightmire, 1984). The increase in energy prices in the 1970s focused attention on coalbed methane as a potential resource, and subsequently, several hundred wells have been drilled, primarily in the Black Warrior, San Juan, and Piceance Creek Basins. The Gas Research Institute (GRI) has actively supported research aimed at developing the technology for economic production of coalbed methane. At the onset, well completions in coalbed reservoirs were a new and unperfected procedure that required innovative modification of established techniques. Therefore, earlier research efforts were directed toward the engineering problems associated with production, with less emphasis on geologic and hydrologic parameters that control coalbed methane occurrence and producibility. Knowledge of these geologic controls has been found, however, to be important to successful well completions and to the development of regional exploration models.Bureau of Economic Geolog

Management: A continuing literature survey with indexes, March 1976

Management is a compilation of references to selected reports, journal articles, and other documents on the subject of management. This publication lists 368 documents originally announced in the 1975 issues of Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR) or International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA). It includes references on the management of research and development, contracts, production, logistics, personnel, safety, reliability and quality control. It also includes references on: program, project and systems management; management policy, philosophy, tools, and techniques; decisionmaking processes for managers; technology assessment; management of urban problems; and information for managers on Federal resources, expenditures, financing, and budgeting
