伦敦自然历史博物馆最近举办了一次国际多学科会议，汇聚了 150 名地质学、地球物理学、地球化学、火山学、沉积学、古生物学和天文学领域的研究人员，回顾和评估了最近有关大规模灭绝事件原因的研究。参与者包括经验丰富的专家以及年轻的研究人员和学生。通过相互倾听和学习，以及积极、建设性的讨论，探索了一种新的、协作的、多学科的方法来解决该领域的突出问题。会议上提出和讨论的数据和概念的价值也远远超出了地球科学的范围，特别是在理解现代环境危机方面。
The Natural History Museum in London recently hosted an international, multi-disciplinary conference that brought together 150 researchers in geology, geophysics, geochemistry, volcanology, sedimentology, paleontology and astronomy to review and assess recent research into the causes of mass extinction events. Participants included seasoned experts as well as younger researchers and students. Through listening and learning from each other and by spirited, constructive discussions, a new, collaborative and multi-disciplinary approach to resolving outstanding problems in this field was explored. The data and concepts presented and discussed at the meeting also have value well beyond the geosciences, particularly with regard to understanding modern environmental crises.
