9802816 Edlund The International Research Fellow Awards Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty- four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a twelve-month postdoctoral research visit by Dr. Mark B. Edlund of the University of Michigan to work with Dr. Ts. Jamsran at Mongolian State University in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia as well at the University of Michigan with Dr. Eugene Stoermer on biatom diversity and training in Lake Hovsgol National Park. Partial support is being provided by the East Asia-Pacific Program in the Division of International Programs. Dr. Edlund will study a component of the algal flora of Lake Hovsgol, completing a floristic survey, and create an herbarium of diatoms (single cell microscopic algae) and a reference collection. Lake Hovsgol is an ancient ecosystem in a tectonic basin. Lakes such as Hovsgol have existed for millions of years and are natural laboratories for the study of ecology and evolution. It has been named Mongolia's first International Long-Term Ecological Research site (LTER). Because this site is at risk ecologically, it is important to document its diversity. In addition to performing this documentation, Dr. Edlund will be working with Mongolian scientists, helping to train and prepare them for future research collaborations with the United States. ***

9802816埃德伦德国际研究员奖计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行3至24个月的研究。该项目的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，并提供了使用国外独特或互补的设施、专业知识和实验条件的机会。这一奖项将支持密歇根大学的马克·B·埃德伦德博士为期12个月的博士后研究访问，与TS博士合作。蒙古乌兰巴托蒙古国立大学的Jamsran博士以及密歇根大学的Eugene Stoermer博士就霍夫斯戈尔湖国家公园的生物多样性和培训进行了讨论。东亚-太平洋项目在国际项目部提供部分支持。埃德伦德博士将研究霍夫斯戈尔湖藻类植物群的一个组成部分，完成植物区系调查，并创建一个硅藻(单细胞显微藻类)标本馆和一个参考集。霍夫斯戈尔湖是一个构造盆地中的古老生态系统。像霍夫斯戈尔这样的湖泊已经存在了数百万年，是研究生态学和进化的天然实验室。它被命名为蒙古第一个国际长期生态研究遗址(LTER)。因为这个遗址在生态上处于危险之中，记录它的多样性是很重要的。除了执行这些文件外，埃德伦德还将与蒙古科学家合作，帮助他们为未来与美国的研究合作进行培训和准备。***
