The fifth SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research) symposium on biology will be held 29 August-3 September, 1988 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The symposium theme is concerned with short- and long-term changes in ecosystem and community structure and function caused by natural and man-induced factors. Specific consideration to natural factors that induce change such as climate change, volcanic activity and exposure of land by ice retreat will be considered in the symposium. Insight into the ecological processes that occur in changing environments is particularly important in the development of monitoring programs for sound conservation policies. The SCAR biology symposia are the only conferences of their kind and occur at intervals of about six years. This group travel award will allow for attendance by United States scientists and is consistent with U.S. policy in the Antarctic in the maintaining of an influential research presence in Antarctic affairs.

第五届南极研究科学委员会生物学专题讨论会将于1988年8月29日至9月3日在澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚的霍巴特举行。研讨会的主题是自然和人为因素引起的生态系统和群落结构和功能的短期和长期变化。专题讨论会将具体考虑引起变化的自然因素，如气候变化、火山活动和冰川退缩导致的陆地暴露。深入了解环境变化中发生的生态过程，对于制定健全的保护政策的监测计划尤为重要。SCAR生物学专题讨论会是同类会议中唯一的一次，每隔六年召开一次。这一团体旅行奖将允许美国科学家参加，这与美国在南极事务中保持有影响力的研究存在的政策是一致的。
