RUI: Symposium on Conservation and Ecology of Seabirds of the Southern Oceans

9805457埃姆斯利：这笔奖金用于资助六名知名科学家、四名研究生和四名来自美国的本科生参加一个关于南部海洋海鸟保护和生态的特别研讨会。本次研讨会将于1998年7月13日至16日在澳大利亚悉尼举行的保护生物学学会年会上召开。研讨会结束后将立即举行讨论会和讲习班，促进美国科学家和学生与澳大利亚、新西兰和包括印度尼西亚和菲律宾在内的其他南半球国家的科学家和学生加强互动和开展新的合作。包括邀请来自菲律宾和印度尼西亚的四名科学家和/或学生参加的资金。这些国家有越来越多的保护项目，包括海鸟物种。来自这些项目的个人的参与将提高他们对海鸟保护的认识，并促进新的合作。所有参加讨论会和讲习班的人都将被邀请提交他们的论文，供同行评议，并在《南极研究丛书》拟于1999年由美国地球物理联合会出版的特刊中发表。本卷还将包括来自世界各地科学家的论文，将成为最新研究使用新技术保护海鸟的重要参考，并将广泛分发。

9805457 Emslie The award supports the travel expenses to bring six established scientists, four graduate students and four undergraduate students from the U. S. to a special symposium on the conservation and ecology of seabirds of the southern oceans. This symposium will be convened at the annual meetings of the Society for Conservation Biology, Sydney, Australia, 13-16 July 1998. A discussion session and workshop will immediately follow the symposium and facilitate greater interactions and new collaborations among scientists and students from the United States with those from Australia, New Zealand and other southern hemisphere countries including Indonesia and the Philippines. Funds are included to invite four scientists and/or students from the Philippines and Indonesia to attend. These countries have growing conservation programs that include seabird species. Participation by individuals from these programs will enhance their knowledge on seabird conservation and promote new collaborations. All participants in the symposium and workshop will be invited to submit their papers for peer-review and publication in a proposed special volume of the Antarctic Research Series, to be published by the American Geophysical Union in 1999. This volume also will include solicited papers from scientists worldwide, will be an important reference on recent investigations using new technology on seabird conservation, and will have broad distribution.
