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.

Moorhead980494该奖项支持Daryl Moorhead教授，得克萨斯理工大学生物科学系与新西兰合作者DRS之间的合作研究。国家水与大气研究所的伊恩·霍克斯（Ian Hawkes）和克莱夫·霍华德·威廉姆斯（Clive Howard-Williams）。 还提供了支持，使美国研究生参与新西兰的现场研究。 目标是完善概念模型；通过将新西兰科学家收集的数据纳入了重点侧重于干谷湖泊和流中微生物垫的结构和环境属性的精细测量的实验，以扩大南极生态系统的现有模拟模型的范围；并定义未来研究的领域。
