The proposed planning visit will develop a collaborative research and education partnership between U.S. and Spanish scientists to study sea-level changes in the Western Mediterranean during Quaternary time. A team of four U.S. researchers will take part in the planning visit, which include specialists in isotope geochemistry, paleoclimatology, and Quaternary geology. The host for the planning visit is Dr. Joan J. Fornos, a geomorphologist from the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UiB) in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Dr. Fornos will work with the U.S. research team to identify field sites in Mallorca that will best support a long-term collaborative research program that will involve scientists, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Research outcomes will provide insight into the relationship between the timing of major rises and falls of sea level and abrupt climate events, as well as help educate the next generation of Quaternary paleoclimatologists.

拟议的规划访问将在美国和西班牙科学家之间建立合作研究和教育伙伴关系，研究第四纪期间西地中海的海平面变化。 一个由四名美国研究人员组成的小组将参加这次计划访问，其中包括同位素地球化学、古气候学和第四纪地质学方面的专家。 规划访问的主持人是Joan J. Fornos博士，他是西班牙马略卡岛帕尔马巴利阿里大学（UiB）的地貌学家。 Fornos博士将与美国研究团队合作，确定马略卡岛的实地考察地点，这些地点将最好地支持一个长期的合作研究项目，该项目将涉及科学家、研究生和本科生。 研究成果将提供深入了解海平面主要上升和福尔斯下降的时间与突发气候事件之间的关系，以及帮助教育下一代第四纪古气候学家。
