Velocities of outlet glaciers, ice streams, and iceshelves, Antarctica, from satellite images

This report summarizes the results of velocity measurements ofoutlet glaciers, ice streams, and ice shelves around theAntarctic periphery. For some regions, where suitable imageswere available, the same area was measured repeatedly tovalidate the data or register changes in velocity with time.The results given here are a compendium of published papersand work in progress. The results constitute a data base thatwill be added to and amended as more velocity measurementsbecome available.

"Metal Industry Indicators" and "Stone, Clay, Glass, and Concrete Products Industry Indicators"

Metal Industry Indicators (MII) is a monthly newsletter thatanalyzes and forecasts the economic health of fivemetal-processing industries: primary metals, steel, copper,primary and secondary aluminum, and aluminum mill products. TheMII presents composite leading and coincident indexes of a setof indicators that historically have proven to lead or coincidewith the major business cycle changes in these industries. Theindexes were developed in cooperation with the Center forInternational Business Cycle Research at Columbia University.Each month, these indexes are analyzed along with anyeconomy-wide occurrences that would affect the metalsindustries.Stone, Clay, Glass, and Concrete Products Industry Indicators(IMII)...
