Advanced Instrumentation for in situ Studies of Zooplankton: A Workshop to be held at Lake Lacawac, NE Pennsylvania, May 23-25, 1991

该提案描述了一个研讨会，“浮游动物丰度、分布和行为原位研究的先进技术”，该研讨会将于1991年5月23日至25日在宾夕法尼亚州东北部的拉卡瓦克湖举行。研讨会的目标是：(1)为正在开发研究浮游动物的新仪器的生物学家之间提供一个互动的论坛；(2)发表一系列描述仪器开发进展的论文。该提案描述了研讨会，被邀请的人员，以及研讨会与其他研究的关系。安德鲁·w·梅隆基金会为讲习班提供了大量资金。我们要求NSF提供补充资金，使海外的重要科学家能够参加研讨会，并与美国和加拿大的科学家分享他们的知识。

This proposal describes a workshop, "Advanced Techniques for in situ Studies of Zooplankton abundance, Distribution, and Behavior, "that will be held at Lake Lacawac, NE Pennsylvania, during May 23-25, 1991. The goals of the workshop are: (1) to provide a forum for interaction among biologists who are developing new instruments for studying zooplankton in the field; and (2) to publish a collection of papers that describe instrument development progress to date. This proposal describes the workshop, the people who have been invited, and the relationship of the workshop to other research. Substantial workshop funding has been provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. We request supplementary funding from NSF to enable key scientists from overseas to attend the workshop and share their knowledge with U.S. and Canadian scientists.
