项目摘要

Critical Transitions across the Phanerozoic: A Roundtable Workshop on Sino-US Collaborative Research on Major Events in the History of Life during the Past 600 Million YearsEAR-1332320Xiaoming Wang, Los Angeles County Museum of Natural HistoryRay Bernor, Howard UniversityDavid Bottjer, University of Southern CaliforniaNigel Hughes, University of California, RiversideXiangdong Wang, Nanjing Institute of Palaeontology and GeologyABSTRACTIn the past 20 years, some of the most exciting fossil discoveries have been found in China. Spectacular fossils are brought to light that are previously unheard of or unimagined, ranging from Precambrian embryos, Cambrian basal animal groups, transitional fishes leading to invasion of land, exquisitely preserved Mesozoic plants, birds and dinosaurs, and an abundance of Cenozoic mammals. Such an unprecedented inventory of discoveries is accompanied by an equally unprecedented increase in funding for Chinese geology and paleontology. Amid this exciting context, collaborations between US and Chinese paleontologists and related geologic disciplines are flourishing. There is much to be gained in these broad collaborations. Specialists from the US bring to the table innovative approaches as well as a large existing body of knowledge, whereas Chinese scientists have rapidly acquired the state-of-the-art practice, and have leveraged these collaborations for additional funding from Chinese sources. PIs plan to bring approximately 50 paleontologists (~20 American) and related geoscientists and students from US and China, as well as administrators of relevant Chinese funding agencies, for a four-day workshop in Kunming, China. Cost for the participation of Chinese scientists and students will be borne by the Natural National Science Foundation of China.

幻生的关键过渡：过去6亿年级的中级 - 美国与人生历史主要事件合作研究的圆桌会议研讨会，1332320xia，洛杉矶县自然历史博物馆，洛杉矶县自然历史博物馆，霍华德大学达维德大学，霍华德大学达维德大学，加利福尼亚大学，加利福尼亚大学，霍纳德大学，在过去的20年中，古生物学和地质吸收素，在中国发现了一些最令人兴奋的化石发现。壮观的化石被揭露，以前是闻所未闻或无法想象的，范围从前寒武纪胚胎，寒武纪基底动物群，过渡性鱼类，导致陆地入侵，精美保存的中生植物，鸟类和恐龙，以及大量的碳酸盐。这种前所未有的发现清单伴随着中国地质和古生物学资金的前所未有的增加。在这种令人兴奋的背景下，美国与中国古生物学家与相关地质学科之间的合作正在蓬勃发展。在这些广泛的合作中有很多要获得的。来自美国的专家带来了创新的方法以及大量的现有知识，而中国科学家迅速获得了最新的实践，并利用这些合作来获得中国来源的额外资金。 PIS计划将大约50名古生物学家（约20名美国）以及来自美国和中国的相关地球科学家和学生以及中国相关资助机构的管理人员参加中国康明的为期四天的研讨会。中国自然国家科学基金会将承担中国科学家和学生参与的成本。
