9600628 Richey This Americas Program award will fund a collaborative research project between Dr. Jeffrey Richey, University of Washington, Seattle and Dr. Jorge Quintanilla, Instituto de Investigaciones Quimicas, Universidad Mayor de San Andres, La Paz, Bolivia, and Dr. Carlos Llerena, Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina, Lima, Peru. They will investigate the biogeochemistry of natural flowing waters in the Amazonian regions of Bolivia and Peru. The goals of the research are to characterize the chemistry and hydrology of these little studied regions and to synthesize these data with data already collected in the Brazilian portions of the basin. They will try to determine where are the key "setpoints" of river chemistry in the Andean source regions of the Amazon River system. To meet these goals, the project will carry out collaborative field expeditions along transects of key Andean drainage basins, conduct field and laboratory analyses at the participating institutions and integrate results with basin characteristics. The project will bring together, for the first time, a team of U.S. biogeochemists and scientists with similar interests from Peru and Bolivia and will directly address the needs of all countries involved. U.S. scientists will benefit substantially from the input from those experts in the region and the access to base laboratory, field stations, vehicles, and human resources. ***

9600628里奇 该美洲计划奖将资助西雅图华盛顿大学的Jeffrey里奇博士和玻利维亚拉巴斯圣安德烈斯大学的Jorge Quintanilla博士以及秘鲁利马国立农业大学的卡洛斯莱雷纳博士之间的合作研究项目。 他们将调查玻利维亚和秘鲁亚马逊地区天然流动沃茨的地球化学。 研究的目标是描述这些研究较少的地区的化学和水文特征，并将这些数据与巴西流域部分已经收集的数据进行综合。 他们将试图确定亚马逊河系统安第斯源头地区河流化学的关键“设定点”在哪里。 为实现这些目标，该项目将沿安第斯主要流域的剖面沿着开展合作性实地考察，在参与机构进行实地和实验室分析，并将结果与流域特点结合起来。 该项目将首次汇集来自秘鲁和玻利维亚的具有类似兴趣的美国地球化学家和科学家小组，并将直接满足所有有关国家的需要。 美国科学家将从该地区专家的投入以及使用基地实验室、野外站、车辆和人力资源中获益匪浅。 ***
