Earth Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Award

该研究员将研究表面络合物的热力学状态方程的理论发展，以确定地球化学传质的主要模式是否是通过在表面形成化学键在水溶液和矿物之间进行物质分配。表面配合物热力学模型的发展将集中在一些氧化物和硅酸盐上。然后将模型扩展到包括其他种类的含水物种和矿物，并用现有的实验数据进行测试。该研究员已选择在加州大学伯克利分校进行她的奖学金任期。

The Fellow will examine the theoretical development of thermodynamic equations of state for surface complexes in order to determine whether the primary mode of geochemical mass transfer is by partitioning of species between aqueous solutions and minerals through the formation of chemical bonds at the surfaces. Development of a thermodynamic model for surface complexes will focus on a number of oxides and silicates. Models will then be extended to include other classes of aqueous species and minerals and tested with available experimental data. The Fellow has chosen to conduct her fellowship tenure at the University of California at Berkeley.
