Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY-2000

本行动资助2000年美国国家科学基金会生物信息学博士后研究奖学金。这项研究和培训计划是在生态学领域，题为“发展海山生物地理信息系统”。海山是在海洋中发现的火山山峰，高出海底1000英尺（但没有突破海面），存在于不同的位置和纬度，可能是生物多样性的几个方面的高度代表。该项目通过将海底山的全球生物地理数据汇总到一个数据库/GIS系统中，创建了一个海洋学信息系统，该系统用于绘制和解释海底山生物多样性的模式，并将通过互联网免费访问，以帮助研究、管理和教育。

This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for 2000.The research and training plan is in the area of Ecology and is entitled "Development of a Biogeographical Information System for Seamounts". Seamounts, which are volcanic peaks found within the ocean and rise 1000 feet above the ocean floor (yet not breaking the surface), exist in a variety of locations and latitudes, and may be highly representative of several aspects of biodiversity. This project creates an oceanographic information system by aggregating global biogeographic data from seamounts into a database/GIS system which is used to map and explain patterns of seamount biodiversity, and will be freely accessible over the internet to aid research, management, and education.
