项目摘要

This collaborative research grant supports the international linkage costs to enable Dr. W. A. Clemens, Professor in the Department of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley, and two colleagues, to conduct one month's field reconnaissance research in January 1996, to amplify previous discoveries of Mesozoic vertebrate fossils in Ethiopia and Tigray. The team will intensively prospect exposures of Mesozoic sediments in the Abay (Upper Blue Nile) River Basin. Prospecting will be directed toward discovery of remains of both small vertebrates as well as the larger dinosaurs and other reptiles. The research is expected to yield data concerning questions of phylogenetic interrelationships of lineages of Jurassic African vertebrates and their changing biogeographic distributions. The foreign partners are the Dr. Getaneh Assefa, of the Department of Geology and Geophysics, Addis Ababa University, and Dr. Jara Haile Mariam, the Director of the Natural History Museum, Addis Ababa. The collaboration with the Ethiopian institutions, which are making their laboratory and curatorial facilities available for the team's use, is expected to lead to definition of future, long-term research projects. The strengthening of academic relations between the US and Ethiopian institutions will create new opportunities for field experience for US students, and training of Ethiopian students.

这项合作研究补助金支持国际联系费用，使W。A. 1996年1月，加州大学伯克利分校古生物系教授Clemens和两名同事进行了为期一个月的实地考察研究，以扩大以前在埃塞俄比亚和提格雷发现的中生代脊椎动物化石。该小组将在Abay（上青尼罗河）流域密集前景勘探中生代沉积物的暴露。勘探工作将致力于发现小型脊椎动物以及大型恐龙和其他爬行动物的遗骸。这项研究预计将产生有关侏罗纪非洲脊椎动物谱系的系统发育相互关系及其不断变化的地理分布问题的数据。外国伙伴是阿迪斯大学地质和地球物理系的Getaneh Assefa博士和阿迪斯自然历史博物馆馆长Jara Haile Mariam博士。与埃塞俄比亚各机构的合作使其实验室和管理设施可供小组使用，预计将导致确定未来的长期研究项目。加强美国和埃塞俄比亚机构之间的学术关系将为美国学生的实地经验和埃塞俄比亚学生的培训创造新的机会。
