项目摘要

An award is made to the University of Alaska Museum (UAM) to generate and publish electronic records from over 9,000 collections of marine invertebrates currently archived at the museum. These collections represent the results of oceanographic research on the faunal diversity of Arctic and sub-Arctic oceans over a period spanning five decades. The expertly curated, digitized records will be available to the global community of researchers interested in marine ecology for study. Understanding the diversity and patterns of distribution of Arctic and sub-Arctic marine faunas is of special urgency given growing interest in the development of mineral resources and transportation routes in those waters.Additionally, in the process of ensuring the preservation and dissemination of the information associated with the marine invertebrate collections at UAM, the project will promote training and improve expertise in taxonomy and biodiversity research. A graduate student will receive training on natural history collections research and on invertebrate taxonomy. Undergraduate students will work in the digitization effort and gain first hand experience with scientific research. All aspects of the project will also involve training, mentorship and the development of an appreciation of the importance of collections-based research. Data records from the UAM will be readily accessible through the Arctos database web portal located at http://arctos.database.museum/.

阿拉斯加大学博物馆（UAM）获得了一项奖励，以生成和发布目前在博物馆存档的9000多种海洋无脊椎动物的电子记录。这些收藏代表了五十年来对北极和亚北极海洋动物多样性的海洋学研究成果。这些经过精心整理的数字化记录将提供给对海洋生态学感兴趣的全球研究人员进行研究。鉴于人们对开发北极和亚北极水域的矿物资源和运输路线日益感兴趣，了解北极和亚北极海洋动物的多样性和分布模式具有特别紧迫的意义。此外，在确保保存和传播与澳门大学海洋无脊椎动物收藏有关的信息的过程中，该项目将促进培训和提高分类学和生物多样性研究方面的专业知识。一名研究生将接受自然史收藏研究和无脊椎动物分类学方面的培训。本科生将参与数字化工作，并获得科学研究的第一手经验。该项目的所有方面还将涉及培训、指导和发展对基于收藏的研究重要性的认识。UAM的数据记录可以通过位于http://arctos.database.museum/的Arctos数据库门户网站随时访问。
