Stanley 9633772 This proposal seeks funding for production of a document that will offer recommendations for an NSF initiative in the field of paleontology under the title Geobiology of Critical Intervals. The intervals in question, representing a broad range of temporal and spatial scales, include times of unusual environmental conditions, such as global warmth or widespread oceanic anoxia. They also include important biotic transitions, such as biogeographic shifts and episodes of evolutionary turnover. The initiative should generate studies that provide valuable insights relating to possible future changes in the ecosystems of our planet. It should accomplish its goals in part by promoting interactions between researchers who would not otherwise collaborate with one another-- geobiologists of various types and researchers in such areas as geochronology, physical stratigraphy, paleoceanography, paleoclimatology, geochemistry. Funding is sought for a workshop to be held in Washington, D.C. in the spring of 1996. A diverse group of participants will review a variety of relevant topics, extract general themes, and assemble an outline for a document. A subset of the participants will then write the document after seeking input from the general research community, and experts will review a draft before the final documentation is assembled.

斯坦利9633772 该提案寻求资金，以编制一份文件，为国家科学基金会在古生物学领域的一项倡议提出建议，标题为《关键间隔的地球生物学》。 所讨论的时间间隔代表了广泛的时间和空间尺度，包括不寻常的环境条件的时间，如全球变暖或广泛的海洋缺氧。 它们还包括重要的生物转变，如地理转变和进化更替。 该倡议应产生研究成果，就地球生态系统今后可能发生的变化提供宝贵的见解。 它应部分通过促进研究人员之间的相互作用来实现其目标，否则这些研究人员就不会相互合作-各类地质生物学家和地质年代学、物理地层学、古海洋学、古气候学、地球化学等领域的研究人员。 正在为拟于1996年春季在华盛顿，华盛顿特区举办的一次讲习班寻求资金。 一个多元化的参与者小组将审查各种相关主题，提取一般主题，并组装一个文件的大纲。 然后，一部分参与者将在征求一般研究界的意见后编写文件，专家将在最终文件汇编之前审查草稿。
