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

9708380 Noakes Jahnke该项目将资助应用同位素研究中心（CAIS）的研究，以改善用于评估沉积物相关污染物环境影响的仪器和技术的最新水平。这项研究将使快速，大规模的调查污染的分布进行结合详细的过程研究污染物孔隙水沉积物分区和海底水交换。其结果将是一个快速和具有成本效益的方法来调查之间的关系的命运，分布和生物利用度的沉积物相关的污染物，可以在地理区域具有广泛的面积范围内进行。研究的第一阶段是创建实验模型，用于实验室和现场测试和评估。在项目的第二年，将在南卡罗来纳州的查尔斯顿港对实验系统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.***
