This award supports research that focuses on the collection and                 analysis of palynomorphs and megafossils of Permian and Triassic                age from the Beardmore Glacier region in Antarctica.  Research                  will include the biostratigraphy, correlation, and biology of                   plants preserved as impressions, compressions and                               permineralizations.  Systematic collections will be made of                     samples with the aim at recovering palynomorphs that will help to               better correlate the Buckley, Fremouw and Falla Formations (Beacon              Supergroup) with those in other areas of Antarctica and other                   Gondwana continents.  A component of this research will                         investigate digenetic effects on palynomorphs from areas (e.g.,                 Mt. Achernar) where pollen is preserved in the vicinity of diabase              sills.  In addition, palynomorphs and megafossils (where                        available) will be collected in the vicinity of known vertebrate                localities in order to better correlate these deposits and to                   contribute to paleoenvironment reconstructions.                                                                                                                 Impression/compression specimens will also be collected with the                aim to better understand the floral composition and its possible                use in biostratigraphy and biogeography.
