They also spotted remnants of an old volcano near Reno, Nev., that seems to be undergoing gradual uplifting by subterranean forces. In Oklahoma, scientists detected timber that had been harmed by exposure to the powerful chemical defoliant 245-T as part of a field-clearing effort; earlier observations by plane had failed to spot the damage. Off Cape Cod, the satellite quickly showed oceanographers what changes currents are causing in the topography...
