Moorhead980494 This award supports collaborative research between Prof. Daryl Moorhead, Department of Biological Sciences, Texas Tech University, and New Zealand collaborators Drs. Ian Hawkes and Clive Howard-Williams of the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research. Support is also provided to involve a U.S. graduate student in the on-site research in New Zealand. The goals are to refine conceptual models; to expand the scope of existing simulation models of Antarctic ecosystems by incorporating data collected by NZ scientists in experiments that focus on fine-scale measurements of structural and environmental attributes of microbial mats in dry valley lakes and streams; and to define areas of future research.

Moorhead 980494该奖项支持德克萨斯理工大学生物科学系的Daryl Moorhead教授与新西兰国家水和大气研究所的Ian Hawkes和克莱夫Howard-Williams博士的合作研究。 还提供支持，让一名美国研究生参与新西兰的现场研究。 其目标是完善概念模型;扩大南极生态系统现有模拟模型的范围，方法是将新西兰科学家在实验中收集的数据纳入其中，这些实验的重点是对干旱山谷湖泊和溪流中微生物垫的结构和环境属性进行精细测量;并确定未来研究的领域。
