Opportunities in geophysics
H. Richard Crane
Physics Today 24 (2), 23–26 (1971); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3022563

Challenging jobs still exist here for physicists–exploring for oil, studying ocean‐wave propagation, analyzing the behavior of water in clouds…

Plasma Physics Applied to Cosmology
Hannes Alfvén
Physics Today 24 (2), 28–33 (1971); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3022564

It is time for a fresh approach to cosmical electrodynamics. Instead of searching for new laws of physics we should be trying to find out how to use the laws we already know.
