...effectively as do Holland's skilled farmers, British Economist Colin Clark estimates that present agricultural techniques would support 28 billion people (ten times the present world population) at a European level of diet. "The basic raw materials for the industries of the future," says Caltech's Geochemist Harrison Brown, "will be sea water, air, ordinary rock, sedimentary deposits of limestone and phosphate, rock, and sunlight. All the ingredients essential to a highly industrialized society are present in the combination of those substances." The dwindling of usable supplies of fresh water is being matched by steady progress toward...
This week a committee appointed by the National Academy of Sciences and headed by Geochemist Harrison Brown of Caltech sketched out a ten-year program for unlocking the ocean treasure house, which may contain as much of value to man as the earth's land. As the planet becomes more thickly populated, whole nations may get the bulk of their food from the fertile sea, as well as minerals and fuel in vast abundance. A quick and valuable byproduct of oceanography will be improved knowledge of the conditions governing submarine warfare. The committee did not mention, but was well...
...Geochemist Harrison Brown left for Caltech. Later, Economist Jacob Marschak went to Yale; Dean John Jeuck of the business school settled for a professorship at the Harvard business school.
