U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Studies on Pigments in Seawater and Marine Sediments

这项为期三年的美法化学海洋学研究奖涉及伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的丹尼尔·j·雷佩塔和法国的两个研究小组。该项目的主要目的是确定海水和沉积物中叶绿素和色素示踪剂的地球化学行为。美国研究人员将与斯特拉斯堡路易斯巴斯德大学的鲁本奥坎波托雷斯合作，使用化学溶解方法分析沉积有机质。在第二次合作中，美国研究人员将与维尔法兰西/Mer的海洋化学小组的Herve clauste进行实地测试，藻胆素是一种用于藻类类分布遥感的色素示踪剂。这些研究结合了美国和法国在地球化学、化学技术和遥感技术方面的专业知识。

This three-year, U.S.-France award in chemical oceanography research involves Daniel J. Repeta at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and two research groups in France. The main objective of their project is to define the geochemical behavior of chlorophyll and pigment tracers in marine water and sediments. In cooperation with Ruben Ocampo Torres at the University of Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg, the U.S. investigator will analyze sedimentary organic matter using chemolytic methods. In the second collaboration with Herve Claustre of the marine chemistry group in Villefrance/Mer, the U.S. investigator will field test, phycobilins, a pigment tracer for remote sensing of algal class distribution These studies combine U.S. and French expertise in geochemistry, chemical techniques and remote sensing techniques.
