The Inter-Congress Committee on Tephrochronology of the International Quaternary Association will hold a field conference and workshop in Wyoming in June, 1990. This is to promote international communication, determine current status of worldwide studies, assess the impact of new developments in related fields, and promote dialogue on the role of tephra (volcanic extrusions) in solving fundamental Quaternary stratigraphic problems. This award is to defray expenses for a symposium on the relationship of these dating mechanisms to questions of hominid fossils in East Africa. Some of the most exciting finds relating to human origins have come from East Africa and tephrostratigraphic correlations have been among the most important mechanisms to fix firmly the dates of various early hominid fossils. All the participants in the symposium have made, or are making, substantial contributions to the advancement of paleoanthropological knowledge.

国际季季协会的国际泰夫罗教学委员会将于1990年6月在怀俄明州举行现场会议和研讨会。这是为了促进国际沟通，确定全球研究的现状，评估新发展的相关领域的影响，并促进针对Tephra（Volcanic extrusions）在解决基础级别策略中的作用的对话，并促进对话。 该奖项旨在支付关于这些约会机制与东非人类化石问题的关系的研讨会的费用。 与人类起源有关的一些最令人兴奋的发现来自东非，而tephrospraphatigraphic的相关性已成为牢固确定各种早期人类化石的日期的最重要机制。 研讨会上的所有参与者都为古人类学知识的发展做出了或正在做出重大贡献。
