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

9805457该奖项资助来自美国的六名知名科学家、四名研究生和四名本科生参加一个关于南大洋海鸟保护和生态的特别研讨会的旅费。这次研讨会将于1998年7月13-16日在澳大利亚悉尼举行的保护生物学学会年会上召开。研讨会之后将立即举行讨论会和讲习班，促进来自美国的科学家和学生与来自澳大利亚、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之间的更多互动和新的合作。其中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计划，其中包括海鸟物种。来自这些项目的个人的参与将增强他们对海鸟保护的知识，并促进新的合作。将邀请专题讨论会和讲习班的所有与会者提交论文，供同行审查，并在拟由美国地球物理联盟于1999年出版的《南极研究丛书》专册中出版。这一卷还将包括从世界各地的科学家征集的论文，将是最近使用新技术进行海鸟保护调查的重要参考，并将有广泛的分发。

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.
