PROPOSAL FOR WORKSHOPS ON AMINOSTRATIGRAPHY DATA MANAGEMENT AND AN INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ADVANCES IN THE USE OF AMINO ACID DIAGENESIS IN STRATIGRAPHY AND EARTH SURFACE PROCESS

PIS计划举办两次讲习班，以制定在研究地球表面和沉积地壳过程中使用氨基酸外消旋的档案公约。在过去的40-50年里，美国和国际上的实验室一直在进行数据生成，但还没有就将所有人都能访问的此类信息存档的惯例或数据库达成一致。国际地质学会已制定计划，将于今年秋天在丹佛举行美国地质学会2010年全国年会的同时举办第一次研讨会，随后将于2011年7月在瑞士伯尔尼举行国际地质学会国际会议。

PIs plan two workshops to develop the archival conventions for the use of amino acid racemization (AAR) in studies of earth surface and sedimentary crustal processes. Data generation has been ongoing over the last 40-50 years in laboratories both in the US and internationally, but no convention or database has been agreed to for archiving such information that would be accessible to all. PIs have laid out plans for the first workshop to be held in conjunction with the 2010 annual national meeting of the Geological Society of America in Denver this fall followed up by the International Meeting of INQUA to be held in Bern, Switzerland in July, 2011.
