U.S.-Mexico Collaboration: Workshop on Environmental Biology of Deserts and Oceans; Guaymas, Mexico, March 1996

9511838埃尔瑟这项美洲计划奖将资助11名美国科学家和5名研究生参加在墨西哥瓜伊马斯举行的美国/墨西哥联合研讨会的旅费和相关费用。组织者是亚利桑那州立大学的詹姆斯·埃尔瑟博士和墨西哥索诺拉蒙特雷高级技术学院(ITESM)的爱德华·菲勒博士。研讨会的重点将是沿海索诺兰地区的环境生物学，作为加强美国和墨西哥科学家在这一生态多样化的沙漠-海洋景观中的科学交流的一步。跨国和全球环境破坏的可能性随着全球经济的发展而增加，包括气候变化、跨国界的污染物运输和生物多样性的丧失。这一潜力在对环境敏感且经济充满活力的美墨边境地区尤为明显，并呼吁在基础和应用环境生物学领域加强国际科学交流。这次研讨会将汇集来自美国和墨西哥的资深科学家和学生，为未来的调查确定共同感兴趣的研究问题。***

9511838 Elser This Americas Program award will support travel and related expenses for eleven U.S. scientists and five graduate students, to participate in a joint U.S./Mexico workshop to be held in Guaymas, Mexico. Organizers are Dr. James Elser, Arizona State University, and Dr. Edward Pfeiler, Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM), Sonora, Mexico. The workshop will focus on the environmental biology of the coastal Sonoran region as a step towards increasing scientific exchange between U.S. and Mexican scientists in this ecologically diverse desert-ocean landscape. The potential for transnational and global environmental disruptions, including climate change, pollutant transport across international boundaries, and biodiversity loss, has increased with the global economy. This potential is especially strong in the environmentally sensitive and economically dynamic U.S.-Mexico boundary region and calls for increased international scientific exchanges in the area of basic and applied environmental biology. This workshop will bring together senior scientists, and students from both the U.S. and Mexico, to identify research questions of mutual interest for future investigations. ***
