U.S.-Mexico Planning Visit: Planning Phase for Hydrogeologic and Hydrochemical Investigations

9912159 Johannesson这一美国-墨西哥奖项将支持老自治州大学的Kevin H.Johannesson博士计划访问墨西哥国立自治大学(UNAM)，与该大学的Alejandra Cortes博士会面，以讨论、组织和勾勒出对墨西哥东北部Cuatro Cienegas地下水系统进行详细水文地质和水文地球化学调查的适当战略。规划会议将涉及对实地地点的讨论、确定研究目标和确定研究目标的优先次序以及总体项目规划，并将导致拟订多年期研究的提案。这项研究将有助于增加我们对碳酸盐含水层的了解，碳酸盐含水层为大约四分之一的世界人口提供水源。

9912159JohannessonThis US-Mexico award will support a planning visit by Dr. Kevin H. Johannesson of Old Dominion University to the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) to meet with Dr. Alejandra Cortes of that university in order to discuss, organize, and outline an appropriate strategy for conducting a detailed hydrogeologic and hydrogeochemical investigation of the Cuatro Cienegas groundwater system in northeastern Mexico. The planning meeting will involve discussions of field sites, identifying and prioritizing study objectives, and overall project planning, and will lead to the development of a proposal for a multi-year study. This study will help to increase our knowledge of carbonate aquifers, which provide water supplies for roughly one quarter of the world's human population.***
