Workshop: Geology of the James Ross Basin, Antarctica

该奖项支持一个关于詹姆斯地质学的研讨会 罗斯盆地，南极洲。 沉积岩序列 暴露在詹姆斯罗斯盆地内的是一个几乎连续的， 记录丰富，年代从晚 从白垩纪到始新世。 先前的研究表明， 南极洲在进化过程中所起的重要作用， 南半球陆地和海洋的扩散 生物体以及全球的进化 海洋条件。 然而，这项工作已经 由来自不同国家的团体表演， 协同 因此，术语适用于 地质和地理特征的混淆和工作 在某些情况下是重复和重叠的。 因为 人们认识到，涉及科学家的合作工作 从几个国家，将允许更有效， 节约使用财政和后勤资源， 将举办讲习班， 完成研究，并确定获得 更好地了解该地区。 预计各国 这样一个讲习班将鼓励今后研究规划 探险

This award supports a workshop on the geology of the James Ross Basin, Antarctica. The sedimentary rock sequence exposed within the James Ross Basin is a nearly continuous, richly fossiliferous record ranging in age from Late Cretaceous through Eocene. Prior studies have demonstrated the significant role Antarctica played in the evolution and dispersal of southern hemisphere terrestrial and marine organisms as well as in the evolution of global oceanographic conditions. However, the work has been performed by groups from various nations with little coordination. As a result the terminology applied to geological and geographic features in confusing and the work has been repetitive and overlapping, in some cases. Because it is recognized that cooperative work, involving scientists from several nations, would permit more efficient and economical use of financial and logistic resources, a workshop will be held to provide an opportunity to discuss research completed and to define objectives for gaining a greater understanding of the area. It is anticipated that such a workshop will encourage research planning for future expeditions.
