Conference -- Endangered Earth: An Evolutionary Perspective

这是一笔资助加州大学洛杉矶分校组织的题为《濒危地球：进化视角》的会议的赠款。它定于1990年1月16日至18日举行，有三个主要目标：1.为跨学科教学的发展提供一个重点和加州大学系统内的全球变化研究，以及更广泛的整个加州科学研究界。2.向广大不同的学术和专业受众通报已查明的与全球变化有关的威胁以及采取行动和补救措施的可能性。3.将地球物理、生物和社会科学领域的主要专家聚集在一起，交流最终必须融合为对全球变化的实际反应的概念。这次会议之所以重要，是因为它寻求促进在一个具有重大意义的环境问题/问题上的跨学科互动。

This is a grant for support for a conference organized by UCLA titled, Endangered Earth: An Evolutionary Perspective. It is scheduled for January 16-18 1990 and has three primary objectives: 1. To provide a focus for the development of interdisciplinary teaching and research on Global Change within the University of California System and more broadly across the California scientific research community. 2. To inform a large and diverse academic and professional audience of the identified threats associate with Global Change, and the possibilities for action and remediation. 3. To bring together leading experts in fields spanning the geophysical, biological and social sciences for an interchange of concepts that ultimately must merge in an practical response to Global Change. This conference is important because it seeks to stimulate cross-disciplinary interactions on an environmental problem/issue of major significance.
