This proposal was submitted to the NSF-wide Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education (POWRE) program. The PI has a background in wetland ecology and is interested the role that wetlands play as a buffer between upland land-use activities and downstream water quality in coastal estuaries and bays. She would like to expand her research via the use of landscape-scale dynamic spatial models. The proposal requests support for the PI to complete three tasks, which are 1) training in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) which is essential for large-scale modeling/data acquisition, 2) initiation of a pilot project in Indian River Lagoon for assessing the feasibility of measuring changes in water quality and subsequent structure of submerged aquatic vegetation associated with the narrowing and potential loss of the wetland fringe surrounding coastal bays, and 3) to purchase and become familiar with the Stella modeling program.

该提案已提交给全国科学基金会范围内的妇女研究和教育专业机会方案。PI具有湿地生态学的背景，并对湿地作为高地土地利用活动与沿海河口和海湾下游水质之间的缓冲区的作用感兴趣。 她想通过使用大规模动态空间模型来扩展她的研究。该提案要求支持PI完成三项任务，即1）地理信息系统（GIS）培训，这对大规模建模/数据采集至关重要，（二）在印度河泻湖启动一个试点项目，以评估测量水质变化的可行性，以及随后与湿地边缘变窄和潜在损失有关的水下水生植被结构周围的沿海海湾，和3）购买和熟悉斯特拉建模程序。
