The contribution of Arthur Adel to astronomical infrared spectroscopy, 1973.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/78201733

Biographical paper by Monica A. Joseph documenting Adel's early (1930s) work in infrared spectroscopy at the University of Michigan and at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, AZ. Joseph describes Adel's research into the spectra of Uranus and Neptune, the first in-depth study of atmospheric absorption of solar radiation, the first search for one-centimeter solar radiation with John D. Kraus, his work with Gerhard Dieke on the hydrogen spectrum, his discovery of atmospheric nitrous oxide and heavy water, the discovery of the 20 micron "window" in the earth's atmosphere, and the first definitive lunar emission spectrum. Joseph also discusses Adel's work in high resolution infrared spectroscopy at Holloman Air Force Base during the Second World War and his establishment of the Atmospheric Research Observatory at Arizona State College after the war.

Outside of museum holdings, no comprehensive survey and inventory of campus artwork had been attempted since 1937. With support from the Michigan Commission on Art in Public Places, 1,076 items were inventoried during 1988-1990. Additional inventory work was undertaken in 1997-1998 for risk management purposed, but generated little new information.
