U.S.-Mongolia Cooperative Research: Satellite Telephone Communication System for Biodiversity Studies in Mongolia

9722103 Goulden这是由费城自然科学院Clyde Goulden博士提出的为期12个月的奖项。该提案要求为国家科学基金会在蒙古支持的生物多样性实地研究购买一套无线通信（电话）系统。每年夏天，来自美国、蒙古、俄罗斯和日本的20名研究科学家和学生聚集在蒙古北部的Hovsgol湖，研究该湖的生物学和生态学，并将该地区开发为国际长期生态研究基地。这是美国国家科学基金会支持的研究Hovsgol湖系统和生态的项目的成果。蒙古幅员辽阔，没有电话和通讯基础设施。Hovsgol湖研究组急需一套无线通信系统。这个项目也是一项重要的试验，以审查无线通信是否适合用于在很少或没有通信基础设施的区域进行远程实地研究。研究结果可用于改善在世界偏远地区开展的许多类似实地项目的通信。

9722103 Goulden This is a 12-month award proposed by Dr. Clyde Goulden, Academy of Natural Science of Philadelphia. This proposal requests funds for purchasing a wireless communication (telephone) system for NSF supported biodiversity field studies in Mongolia. Each summer a group of twenty research scientists and students from the United States, Mongolia, Russia and Japan converge on Lake Hovsgol in northern Mongolia to study the biology and ecology of the lake and to develop this area for use as an international long-term ecological research site. This is an outgrowth of NSF supported project to study the systematic and ecology of Lake Hovsgol. Mongolia is a vast country without telephone and communication infrastructure. There is an urgent need for a wireless communication system for the research group at Hovsgol Lake. This project is also an important trial for examining the suitability of wireless communication for use in remote field studies in regions with little or no communication infrastructure. The results can be useful for improving communication in many similar field projects operating in remote regions of the world.
