Pressing national concerns with global change and the mitigation of natural hazards are leading to increased importance for research on the environments of the recent geological past. International collaboration has become essential for the analysis of important scientific problems related to these issues. This project will support the participation of key U.S. researchers, including new-career scholars, at the XIII Congress of the International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) in Beijing, China, August 2-9, 1991. Due to its strong multidisciplinary tradition, INQUA has direct relevance to seven programs within NSF. The scientific contacts achieved at this meeting and the related scientific field excursions will be invaluable for enhancing understanding of the dynamic earth system at a critical point, when upon that understanding will depend the habitability of the planet. This project will provide the necessary support for 32 U.S. Quaternary scientists to participate in this very significant international meeting.

各国对全球变化和减轻自然灾害的紧迫关注导致对近代地质环境的研究变得越来越重要。 国际合作对于分析与这些问题相关的重要科学问题至关重要。 该项目将支持包括新职业学者在内的美国主要研究人员参加 1991 年 8 月 2 日至 9 日在中国北京举行的国际第四纪研究联盟 (INQUA) 第十三届大会。由于其强大的多学科传统，INQUA 与 NSF 内的七个项目有直接关系。在本次会议上达成的科学接触以及相关的科学实地考察对于在关键时刻加强对动态地球系统的理解将是非常宝贵的，而这种理解将取决于地球的可居住性。 该项目将为32名美国第四纪科学家参加这一非常重要的国际会议提供必要的支持。
