CAREER Development Program: Sediment Transport and Trappingin Estuaries, Southeastern United States

提供资金，以检查沉积物输运过程中的三个河口在南卡罗来纳州或格鲁吉亚。 每项研究都将侧重于负责捕获河口内沉积物的物理过程。 还提供支持项目接口，这是一个面向目标的，多年的计划，为本科生获得科学思维，方法和沟通的技能。 对温亚湾沉积动力学的研究将为生产力、营养盐和有机碳循环以及河口物理化学过程的多学科研究提供平台。

Funds are provided to examine sediment transport processes in three estuaries in South Carolina or Georgia. Each study will focus on the physical processes responsible for trapping sediments within the estuary. Support is also provided for Project Interface, which is a goal-oriented, multi-year program for undergraduates to attain the skills of scientific thinking, methods, and communication. The study of sediment dynamics in Winyah Bay will provide the platform for multi-disciplinary studies of productivity, nutrient and organic carbon cycling, and physical-chemical estuarine processes.
