Support for the Fifth International Organization of Paleobotany Conference; July, 1996; Santa Barbara, CA

1996年7月，第五届国际古植物学组织会议（IOPC-5）将在加州圣巴巴拉召开，讨论地质时期植物区系进化和生物地理交换的主题。IOPC-5的目标是：1)鼓励来自世界各地研究不同地质时代和系统群的古植物学家之间的科学和专业互动；2)为学生（特别是女性和美国少数族裔）参与重大国际和国内会议提供更好的机会；3)通过比较各大洲不同地质时期的数据，提高对全球植物进化史的认识。为帮助实现这些目标，请提供以下支持：为参加8个主要专题讨论会的每个讨论会提供两名与会者的旅费，并为学生、妇女和美国少数民族的注册费用提供补贴。

9418676 Manchester In July 1996, the Fifth International Organization of Palaeobotany Conference (IOPC-5) will convene in Santa Barbara, California to address the theme of floristic evolution and biogeographic interchange through geologic time. The objectives of IOPC-5 are to: 1) encourage scientific and professional interaction among paleobotanists from different parts of the world studying a range of geologic times and systematic groups; 2) provide improved opportunities for the participation of students (particularly women and U.S. minorities) in a major international and national meeting; and 3) gain an improved understanding of the global history of plant evolution through comparison of data summarized from all continents for different geologic time intervals. Support is requested to help attain these goals by: covering the travel costs for two participants in each of eight primary symposia and subsidizing registration costs for students, women, and U.S. minorities.
