U.S. Participation in Second International Conference on Pelagic Biogeography

9527549约翰逊该奖项支持美国参加将于1995年7月9日至15日在荷兰阿姆斯特丹附近举行的第二届远洋生物地理学国际会议。这次会议源于1985年成功举办的首届国际远洋生物地理学会议的成果。第一次会议力求确定研究远洋生物分布所带来的独特问题和机会，并探讨远洋生物地理学如何能够更好地纳入现代生物地理学概念和研究公海分布模式的维持和历史的先进方法。第二次会议将侧重于远洋生物地理学如何有助于更好地了解海洋生态系统，并将特别侧重于其对评估和理解全球变化和海洋生物多样性研究的潜在贡献。***

9527549 Johnson This award suuports US participation in the Second International Conference on Pelagic Biogeography to be held near Armsterdam, The Netherlands, 9-15 July 1995. This conference grows out of the results of the first International Conference on Pelagic Biogeography successfully held in 1985. The first conference sought to define the unique problems and opportunities afforded by study of pelagic organism distributions and to explore ways in which Pelagic Biogeography could better incorporate modern biogeopraphic concepts and advanced approaches to the study of the maintenance and history of open-ocean distribution patterns. The second conference will focus on how Pelagic Biogeography can contribute to a better understanding of marine ecosystems, and will particularly focus on its potential contribution to assessing and understanding global change and marine biodiversity studies. ***
