Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY-2000

这项行动为2000年国家科学基金会生物信息学博士后研究金提供资金。海山是在海洋中发现的火山峰，高出洋底1 000英尺（但没有突破海面），存在于不同的地点和纬度，可能高度代表生物多样性的几个方面。 该项目通过将来自海山的全球海洋学数据汇集到一个数据库/地理信息系统中，建立一个海洋学信息系统，用于绘制和解释海山生物多样性的格局，并可通过因特网免费访问，以协助研究、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.
