9406811 Leary This U.S.-Azech workshop will be held in Springfield, Illinois, during October 11-13, 1994, and will bring together experts from both countries to discuss Carboniferous stratigraphy of various Czech basins and correlate the Czech information on environments of deposition with other regions of the world. Dr. Richard L. Leary of the Illinois State Museum will serve as the U.S. organizer. His Czech counterpart is Dr. Zbynek Simunek of the Czech Geological Survey. The workshop will focus on topics in 1) Carboniferous fossil plant taxa, assemblages, taphonomy, paleoecology, and evolution; and 2) their paleographic implications. Results are expected to yield refined dating of first known occurrences that will aid research on plant migration. Better knowledge of similarities and differences in species common to both the U.S. and Czech coal basin regions will aid in measuring rates of evolution and should contribute to our overall understanding of global climate change. This joint workshop in paleobotany fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. It is expected that the meeting will foster new U.S.-Czech research partnerships as well as promote dissemination of information on current research and methods in Carboniferous Euramerican paleobotany. ***

9406811利里这次美国-阿泽克研讨会将于1994年10月11-13日在伊利诺伊州的斯普林菲尔德举行，两国专家将齐聚一堂，讨论捷克各盆地的石炭纪地层学，并将捷克关于沉积环境的信息与世界其他地区进行对比。伊利诺伊州立博物馆的理查德·L·利里博士将担任美国组织者。他的捷克同行是捷克地质调查局的兹比内克·西穆内克博士。研讨会将集中讨论以下主题：1)石炭纪植物化石分类、组合、分类、古生态学和进化；2)它们的古地理含义。预计结果将对第一次已知的事件进行精确的年代测定，这将有助于植物迁徙的研究。更好地了解美国和捷克煤炭盆地地区共有物种的相似性和差异性，将有助于衡量演化速度，并应有助于我们对全球气候变化的总体理解。这一古植物学联合研讨会通过使美国和东欧的顶尖专家能够将互补的人才结合在一起，并在共同感兴趣和有能力的领域汇集研究资源，实现了促进科学知识的计划目标。预计这次会议将促进新的美国-捷克研究伙伴关系，并促进传播有关当前石炭纪欧美古植物学研究和方法的信息。***
