Rapid Survey and In Situ Measurement of Anthropogenic Contaminants in Surficial Marine Sediments (Collaborative Research)

[708380] Noakes Jahnke该项目将资助应用同位素研究中心（CAIS）的研究，以提高用于评估沉积物相关污染物对环境影响的仪器和技术的最新水平。这项研究将能够对污染分布进行快速、大规模的调查，并结合污染物孔隙水-沉积物分配和海底底水交换的详细过程研究。结果将是一种快速和具有成本效益的方法来调查与沉积物有关的污染物的命运、分布和生物利用度之间的关系，这种方法可以在具有广泛面积的地理区域内进行。研究的第一阶段是创建一个用于实验室和现场测试和评估的实验模型。在项目的第二年，实验系统将在南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿港的一个地点进行现场测试和性能评估

9708380 Noakes & Jahnke This project will fund research at the Center for Applied Isotope Studies (CAIS) to improve the state of the art for instrumentation and techniques used to assess the environmental impacts of sediment-associated contaminants. This research will enable rapid, large-scale surveys of contaminated distributions to be conducted in conjunction with detailed process studies of contaminant pore water- sediment partitioning and seafloor-bottom water exchange. The result will be a rapid and cost-effective approach to investigate relationships between the fate, distribution, and bioavailability of sediment-associated contaminants that can be performed over geographic regions having a broad areal extent. The first phase of the research is to create an experimental model for laboratory and field testing and evaluation. During the second year of the project, the experimental systems will be field tested and evaluated for performance at a site in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina.***
