项目摘要

Conservation Paleobiology in the Coming DecadesGreg DietlPaleontological Research InstituteEAR-0940658Abstract:Conservation paleobiology is a new, socially relevant subdiscipline in paleontology that applies geohistorical data and analyses to current problems related to conservation biology and human-induced environmental change. This new field is part of a growing awareness that cross-disciplinary team efforts are necessary to solve complex scientific problems facing humanity. This proposal seeks support for a workshop that would attempt to refine the scope and content of conservation paleobiology and explore how it can fulfill its interdisciplinary potential. In particular, the workshop, Conservation Paleobiology in the Coming Decades (CPCD), is designed to identify the infrastructural needs that will best facilitate disciplinary and cross-disciplinary research directed towards understanding how societal activities have impinged on the natural world. The CPCD workshop will be held later this year at the Paleontological Research Institution, Ithaca, NY. A final report will be prepared outlining the recommendations of the steering committee, which summarizes the ideas generated during the workshop. This endeavor has promise to change the way we address challenges as a community rather than only as individual researchers, thus potentially establishing this new field as inherently interdisciplinary at the outset.

在接下来的十年中，保护古生物学Dietlpaleonologology Research Institutional-0940658Abstract：保护古生物学是古生物学中的一种新的，社会相关的子歧视，应用地理历史数据并分析与当前与保护生物学和人类诱导的环境变化有关的问题。这个新领域是越来越多的意识到，跨学科团队的努力对于解决人类面临的复杂科学问题是必要的。该提案寻求支持研讨会，该研讨会将试图完善保护生物学的范围和内容，并探索如何发挥其跨学科潜力。特别是，未来几十年（CPCD）的研讨会，保护生物学旨在确定基础设施需求，这些需求将最好促进纪律和跨学科研究，这些研究针对了解社会活动如何影响自然世界。 CPCD研讨会将于今年晚些时候在纽约州伊萨卡的古生物学研究机构举行。将准备一份最终报告，概述指导委员会的建议，该建议总结了研讨会期间产生的想法。这项努力有望改变我们作为一个社区的挑战的方式，而不仅仅是作为个别研究人员的挑战，因此有可能在一开始就将这一新领域固有地确立为固有的跨学科。
