U.S.-Australia Cooperative Research: Benthic Chamber Research of Nutrient Cycling in Australian Bays and Estuaries

小行星9724766 这是南加州大学的威廉·贝雷尔森和大卫·T.澳大利亚地质调查组织的Heggie，堪培拉。 资金将用于支持测试由国家科学基金会海洋科学部提供研究资金开发的新海底室的组成部分，同时对澳大利亚海湾和河口的营养物回收和脱氮进行研究。 澳大利亚的研究项目为美国的研究工作带来了实实在在的好处。 例如，他们提供多个腔室进行并排比较，他们拥有分析设施和专业知识来处理许多腔室样品。 他们为研究船和潜水员提供后勤现场支持，他们对进行复杂而昂贵的操作实验感兴趣，例如标记的N尖峰实验和N2测量。 这将有助于开发在澳大利亚和美国沃茨浅水区使用的最佳装置。

9724766 BERELSON This is a cooperative research project between William Berelson of the University of Southern California and David T. Heggie of the Australian Geological Survey Organisation, Canberra. Funds will be used to support testing the components of new benthic chambers developed with research funding from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences while conducting research into nutrient recycling and denitrification in Australian bays and estuaries. The Australian research projects offer tangible benefit to the U.S. research effort. For example, they make multiple chambers available to conduct side-by-side comparisons, and they have analytical facilities and expertise to process many chamber samples. They offer logistical field support with research vessels and divers, and they are interested in conducting complex and expensive manipulation experiments such as labeled N spike experiments and N2 measurements. This will contribute to the development of the best device for use in shallow coastal Australian and U.S. waters.
