This award supports the U.S.-India Planning Visit: Floras of Antarctica and India, Implications for Gondwana Assembly and Paleoclimatology. Professor Sankar Chatterjee, Texas Tech University and Dr. Rajni Tewari, Birbal Sahni Institute of Paleobotany (BSIP)will undertake exchange visits in order to finalize a comparative study on the morphology and palynology of Glossopteris and Dicroidium floras. The collaborators will also study their utility in paleobiogeography and climate evolution, which has never been integrated or synthesized in any detail. Excellent collections of Permo-Triassic Gondwana floras from India are currently housed at the BSIP, and similar contemporary floras from Antarctica are at the Museum of Texas Tech University. This award supports a unique scientific collaboration between the two investigators who will study and compare the Permo-Triassic floras of India and Antarctica and explore their significance in paleobiogeography and paleoclimatology. The collaboration will integrate the expertise of the investigators and institutional resources, as well as strengthen the USPI?s proposal, which will be submitted to the GEO/EAR Sedimentary Geology & Paleobiology Program following this planning visit.

该奖项支持美国 - 印度的计划访问：南极洲和印度的植物群，对冈瓦纳议会和古气候学的影响。 Sankar Chatterjee教授，德克萨斯理工大学和Birbal Sahni古植物学研究所（BSIP）的Rajni Tewari博士将进行贸易访问，以最终确定有关格洛斯普特菌和植物园植物园的形态学和元流体学的比较研究。 合作者还将研究他们在古地理和气候进化方面的效用，从未详细整合或合成。 目前，来自印度的近氧化冈瓦纳植物植物群的出色收藏目前位于BSIP中，来自南极洲的类似现代植物群也在德克萨斯理工大学博物馆。 该奖项支持两位研究人员之间的独特科学合作，他们将研究和比较印度和南极洲的腐蚀性植物群，并探索它们在古生物地理和古质量学中的重要性。 该合作将整合调查人员和机构资源的专业知识，并加强USPI的提议，在此计划访问后，这些建议将提交给地理/耳朵沉积地质与古生物学计划。
