CAREER: On the Hydrodynamics of the Subtidal Exchange Between Estuaries and Their Adjacent Waters

该职业奖提供资金，根据河口开口的规模和水深测量，表征河口和邻近水域之间的潮下交换水动力学。这项研究和其他资助研究的结果将最终导致提出河口/海洋潮下交换过程的动态分类。在该提案的教育部分，PI要求资助开发和实施教育计划，将实践经验融入面向本科生和高中生的科学课程，并将多媒体技术融入面向高中生、教师和公众的课程。

This CAREER award provides funding to characterize the subtidal exchange hydrodynamics between estuaries and adjacent waters based upon the scale of the estuary opening and its bathymetry. Results from this and other funded research will ultimately result in proposing a dynamical classification of estuary/ocean subtidal exchange processes. In the educational portion of this proposal, the PI requests funding to develop and implement educational programs that integrate hands-on experiences into science courses geared toward undergraduate and high school students, and to integrate multimedia techniques into programs for high school students, teachers, and the general public.
