9901335NehmThe International Research Fellow Awards Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twentyfour months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad.This award will provide Dr. Ross H. Nehm with support for twelve months to work with Dr. Peter Jung at the Naturhistorisches Museum in Basel, Switzerland.Their project will be a comparative study of speciation and extinction in an abundant and richly preserved group of Neogene gastropods from the Limon Basin and Bocas del Toro Basin on the Caribbean coast of Central America through closure of the Panamanian Isthmus and the Plio-Pleistocene mass extinction. Their goal is to investigate the processes that generate biodiversity during episodes of major geological and faunal change. This project will work within the context of the Panama Paleontology Project (PPP), which is a large-scale multidisciplinary research program that has been investigating the geological and paleobiological changes in the Neogene of Tropical America for over a decade. The PPP has laid the foundation for exploring the links between the rate and scale of geological and evolutionary change.The Naturhistorisches Museum is the center of Panama Paleontology Project (PPP) mollusk research and contains the fossil material from the extensive geological surveys of the Caribbean coast of tropical America necessary for this research. Dr. Jung is a member of the PPP who is actively involved in research on the evolution and extinction of the Caribbean mollusk fauna in tropical America.***

9901335 nehm国际研究员奖励计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该计划的奖励为联合研究提供了机会，并利用独特或互补的设施、专业知识和国外的实验条件。该奖项将为Ross H. Nehm博士提供为期12个月的支持，以与瑞士巴塞尔自然历史博物馆的Peter Jung博士一起工作。他们的项目将是对中美洲加勒比海海岸的利蒙盆地和博卡斯德尔托罗盆地的大量保存完好的新近纪腹足类动物的物种形成和灭绝进行比较研究，通过巴拿马地峡的关闭和上新世-更新世的大灭绝。他们的目标是调查在重大地质和动物变化期间产生生物多样性的过程。该项目将在巴拿马古生物学项目（PPP）的背景下进行，PPP是一个大型的多学科研究项目，十多年来一直在调查热带美洲新近纪的地质和古生物学变化。PPP为探索地质和演化变化的速度和规模之间的联系奠定了基础。自然历史博物馆是巴拿马古生物学项目（PPP）软体动物研究的中心，包含了这项研究所需的热带美洲加勒比海岸广泛地质调查的化石材料。Jung博士是PPP的成员，他积极参与研究热带美洲加勒比软体动物群的进化和灭绝
