该奖项支持对巨型浮游生物的调查， 维多利亚地南部艾伦山地区的孢粉植物群， 南极洲 该项目的目标是收集这些 使用现代方法的植物区系（即，将植物区系放在 古生态和地层环境），并描述 其中的植物详细。 这些数据将提供 分类、古生态、古气候和古地理 可以与其他更知名的植物区系相比较的信息 (e.g.,来自南极洲中部的横贯南极山脉， 在冈瓦纳大陆

This award supports an investigation of the megafloras and palynofloras of the Allan Hills area in southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. The objectives for this project are to collect these floras using modern methods (i.e., placing the floras within their paleoecologic and stratigraphic settings) and to characterize the plants contained therein in detail. These data will provide taxonomic, paleoecologic, paleoclimatic and biogeographic information that can be compared with other better-known floras (e.g., from the central Transantarctic Mountains) in Antarctica and in Gondwana.
