SCRIPPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY ARCHIVES
University of California, San Diego

The Scripps Archives has in its collections records from the Office of the Director, subject files, and papers of three scientists who participated in monitoring fallout from United States nuclear testing in the Pacific: Roger Randall Dougan Revelle, the scientific leader for Crossroads, John Dove Isaacs, an oceanographer assisting in monitoring Pacific nuclear testing from 1946-1956, and Walter Heinrich Munk, a geophysicist participating in Crossroads. The archives also holds a collection of U.S. Navy photographs from Crossroads. In 1984 researchers screened 24 feet of records from these collections and selected one cubic foot for the CIC. Since then, the Munk papers and additional accessions to the Revelle and Isaacs papers have become available for research.
