Workshop to promote Collaborative Paleobotanical Research between U.S and Chinese Scientists, Santa Barbara, CA, July 1996

该奖项支持中美古植物学研究联合研讨会。讲习班将于1996年7月与国际古植物学组织会议一起举行。国际会议的一个重要目标是鼓励来自世界不同地区的古植物学家研究一系列地质时代和系统群之间的科学和专业互动。美中研讨会将扩大会议的目标，为中美科学家之间开展合作研究提供一个专门的论坛。研讨会的组织者一直在谨慎地组织这个项目，为两国的青年科学家的参与提供更好的机会。美国和中国之间的合作将使美国研究人员能够探索欧洲和北美的化石区系与中国的化石区系之间惊人的相似性。通过与中国古植物学家的合作，美国古植物学家将能够更好地了解灭绝植物的系统亲缘关系、地层范围和生物地理分布。＊＊＊

9515389 Manchester This award supports a joint US-China workshop on paleobotanical research. The workshop will be held in July 1996 in conjunction with the International Organization of Paleobotany Conference. An important objective of the international conference is to encourage scientific and professional interaction among paleobotanists from different parts of the world studying a range of geologic times and systematic groups. The US-China workshop will expand on the conference objectives by providing a dedicated forum for initiation of collaborative research between US and Chinese scientists. Workshop organizers have been careful to structure the program to provide improved opportunities for the participation of junior scientists from both countries. Collaboration between the US and China will allow US researchers to probe striking similarities between the fossil floras of Europe and North America, and those of China. By combining efforts with Chinese paleobotanists, US paleobotanists will be able to gain a better understanding of the systematic affinities, stratigraphic ranges, and biogeographic distribution of extinct plants. ***
