Student Participation in the Southern Hemisphere Ornithological Congress, Brisbane, Australia, 27 June-2 July, 2000

该奖项资助6名研究生和本科生参加在澳大利亚布里斯班举行的南半球鸟类学大会。参与者将来自美国的四所大学，其中至少有三名女性。学生们将参加一个关于南大洋海鸟保护和生态的专题研讨会。这一主题非常及时和重要。这些海洋中长期生活的海鸟，如信天翁和海燕，受到了人类活动的影响，如延绳捕鱼、旅游、漏油、引入非土著疾病等。研讨会将为这些学生提供一个独特的教育机会，让他们向备受尊敬的海鸟生物学和生态学专家学习和互动。这次研讨会还将为学生提供国际科学合作的重要性的第一手知识，并可能导致未来的合作。

0001323EmslieThis award provides support for the travel of six graduate and undergraduate students to the Southern Hemisphere Ornithological Congress in Brisbane, Australia. The participants will come from four universities in the U.S. and include at least three women. The students will participate in a special symposium on the conservation and ecology of seabirds of the southern oceans. The topic is very timely and important. Long-lived seabirds such as albatrosses and petrels in these oceans have been impacted by human activities, such as long-line fishing, tourism, oil spills, introduction of non-indigenous disease, etc. The symposium will provide a unique educational opportunity for these students to learn from and interact with well-respected experts in the biology and ecology of seabirds. This symposium will also provide the students with first-hand knowledge of the importance of international collaborations in science and may lead to future collaborations.
