Goulden 9415322 This is a planning grant for Dr. Clyde Goulden to lead a group of scientists to visit a potential research sites in Mongolia and the Buryat Oblast of Russia to develop a long-term ecological study. The preliminary investigation includes the sites of Hovsgol Nuur in Mongolia, a large lake southwest of Lake Baikal, and lakes and rivers in the Oka and Tunka Valleys in Buryat. The purpose of this visit is to collect data on invertebrates (e.g., zooplankton and amphipods) and fishes throughout the Selenga river basin and Hovsgol Nuur to examine the ecological relationship between Hovsgol Nuur and Baikal Lake. The data available from these areas are very limited. This trip can provide important preliminary information for research in this area, which has been accessible for outsiders to only a limited degree since Hovsgol Nuur is situated in a remote part of Mongolia and there is no road to reach the lake, and since only Mongolians and Russians were allowed to enter this area prior to 1990. Dr. Goulden is a distinguished scientist with an excellent record in carrying out difficult field projects. This visit can provide important baseline information for carrying out field research in part of Asia.

Goulden 9415322这是一项计划拨款，用于Clyde Goulden博士带领一组科学家访问蒙古和俄罗斯布里亚特奥布拉斯特的潜在研究地点，以开展长期的生态研究。初步调查包括蒙古的霍夫斯古尔努尔遗址，贝加尔湖西南的一个大湖，以及布里亚特的奥卡和通卡山谷的湖泊和河流。这次访问的目的是收集塞伦加河流域和霍夫斯戈尔努尔的无脊椎动物(如浮游动物和两足类)和鱼类的数据，以研究霍夫斯戈尔努尔和贝加尔湖之间的生态关系。从这些地区获得的数据非常有限。此行可以为这一地区的研究提供重要的初步信息，因为霍夫斯戈尔努尔位于蒙古的偏远地区，没有通往该湖的道路，而且1990年前只允许蒙古人和俄罗斯人进入这一地区，因此外人只能在有限的程度上进入这一地区。高登博士是一位杰出的科学家，在执行困难的实地项目方面有着出色的记录。这次访问可以为在亚洲部分地区开展实地研究提供重要的基线信息。
