In this U.S.-Peru planning visit supported by the Americas Program of the Office of International Science and Engineering, Dr. Julia A. Clarke of North Carolina State University and a US collaborator will meet with the their Peruvian colleagues, Mario Urbina and Marcelo Stucchi of the Natural History Museum of San Marcos University (UNMSM) in Lima, Peru. During the visit they will plan the exact scope of joint research on on penguin evolution and biogeography and gather and assess preliminary data on fossil material for future collaborative study. Travel locations include the Natural History Museum of San Marcos University in Lima, Peru and localities where the fossil material is being collected in the Pisco Basin near Ica, Peru.The topic is timely and of considerable importance, since the linkage of evolution with climate change is highly relevant for both interpreting the fossil record and examining organism responses to global change in the present and future. The anticipated collaborative project would strengthen interactions with foreign scientists and is relevant to the upcoming International Polar Year.

在这项由国际科学与工程办公室支持的美国验证计划中，北卡罗来纳州立大学的朱莉娅·克拉克（Julia A. 在访问期间，他们将计划有关企鹅进化和生物地理学的联合研究的确切范围，并收集和评估化石材料的初步数据，以供将来的合作研究。 旅行地点包括位于秘鲁的利马圣马科斯大学的自然历史博物馆以及秘鲁ICA附近的皮斯科盆地的化石材料。该主题及时且非常重要，因为进化与气候变化的链接与气候变化的联系非常相关，这既可以解释化石记录和研究生物体对现有的物体响应的现有和未来的变化。 预期的合作项目将加强与外国科学家的互动，并且与即将到来的国际极性年有关。
