题目：美国参加第十五届国际第四纪研究联盟大会的旅行支持；南非德班；1999年8月3日至11日全球气候变化和自然环境灾害数量的增加引起了全国的严重关注，这突出表明有必要继续对现在和过去的地质环境进行研究。国际合作对于分析与我们当前和未来环境有关的最近地质历史的科学问题仍然是至关重要的。该奖项支持美国参加1999年8月3日至11日在南非德班举行的第十五届国际第四纪研究联盟大会。由于其跨学科的传统，INQUA与广泛的全球变化问题直接相关。本次会议将重点讨论人类进化的环境背景，以及结合古环境观察和建模。

AbstractATM-9901613Dickey, John S.American Geophysical UnionTitle: Travel Support for U.S. Participation in the XV Congress of the International Union for Quaternary Research; Durban, South Africa; August 3-11, 1999Serious national concern about global climate change and the increasing numbers of natural environmental hazards emphasize the need for continuing research on present and past geological environments. International collaboration continues to be of paramount importance for the analyses of scientific problems of the recent geological past relevant to our current and future environment. This award supports U.S. participation in the XV Congress of the International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) in Durban, South Africa, August 3-11, 1999. Because of its interdisciplinary tradition, INQUA has direct relevance to a broad range of global change problems. This conference will focus on the environmental background to hominid evolution, as well as combining paleoenvironmental observations and modeling.
