Chapman Conference on the Causes and Consequences of Long- Term Sea Level Change

正在举行一次查普曼会议，以汇聚涉及长期海平面变化(1-100英里)的次级专业。以便对方法、技术实现和结果进行讨论和比较。这次会议将讨论过去海平面的准确测定，海平面每一次重大变化的机制，以及海平面变化与地质系统、海洋化学、温度等和气候相互作用所产生的后果。将有可能综合海平面变化的测量、机制和后果，以便在行星地质系统的框架内出现更完整的海平面图景。外国科学家和美国学生的参与对会议的成功至关重要。来自NSF的1万美元资金将为几名美国学生和几名外国科学家提供支持(约占总额的三分之一)。

A Chapman Conference is being held to bring together subspecialties involving long-term sea level changes (1-100 m.y.) so that approaches, implementation of techniques, and results can be discussed and compared. This conference will consider accurate determinations of past sea levels, the mechanisms responsible for each major change in sea level, and the consequences of sea level change due to its interaction with geologic systems, ocean chemistry, temperature, etc., and climate. It will be possible to integrate the measurements, mechanisms, and consequences of sea level change, so that a more complete picture will emerge of sea level in the framework of the planetary geologic systems. Participation of foreign scientists and U.S. students is critical to the success of the conference. Funds in the amount of $10,000 from NSF will provide support for several U.S. students and a few foreign scientists (about 1/3 of the total to be funded).
