This award helps support a conference entitled, "Quaternary Grassland Forest Dynamics" at the biennial meeting of the American Quaternary Association (AMQUA) in Lawrence, Kansas on June 26 - 28, 2004.Specifically, the award provides participant support for approximately fifteen (15) graduate students and post-doctoral researchers to participate in presentations and discussions that examine the complex interaction among climatic, geologic, biologic, and human systems in the dynamics of grassland-forest boundaries.Among the organizer's objectives are: 1) provide a forum for presentation of new data and approaches for understanding the biological, geological, paleoclimatological, and cultural aspects of grassland/forest transitions; 2) bring together a diverse group of researchers to foster synergistic activities that will benefit both established investigators as well as students; and 3) encourage interactions that will promote new projects aimed at collecting data, foster the development of novel tools for research and analysis, and enable integrative efforts among researchers and students that are in scientific disciplines that do not often participate in the same meetings or conferences. All presentations at the conference will be published by AMQUA in a volume of abstracts that will be available for purchase by the wider scientific community.

该奖项有助于在2004年6月26-28日在堪萨斯州劳伦斯举行的美国第四纪协会(AMQUA)两年一度的会议上支持题为“第四纪草原森林动态”的会议。具体地说，该奖项为大约15名研究生和博士后研究人员提供了参与演讲和讨论的机会，这些演讲和讨论考察了草原-森林边界动态中气候、地质、生物和人类系统之间的复杂相互作用。组织者的目标是：1)提供一个论坛，展示新的数据和方法，以了解草原/森林过渡的生物、地质、古气候和文化方面；2)将不同的研究人员群体聚集在一起，以促进将使现有研究人员和学生都受益的协同活动；以及3)鼓励互动，以促进旨在收集数据的新项目，促进新的研究和分析工具的开发，并使不经常参加相同会议或会议的科学学科的研究人员和学生能够进行综合努力。会议上的所有发言将由AMQUA以摘要的形式出版，供更广泛的科学界购买。
