ABSTRACT:This CAREER award provides funding to critically examine two classical paradigms in sediment dynamics of microtidal, partially-mixed estuaries. The first is that gravitational circulation is the dominant mechanism for landward transport of fine sediment. The second is that convergent transport of sediment within the water column is the immediate cause of the along-channel turbidity maximum. In the educational portion of this proposal, the PI requests funding to develop and implement faculty-supervised learning experiences for teams of graduate, undergraduate and high school students that integrate hands-on experiences into science instruction in ways consistent with national recommendations for science education reform.

摘要：该职业奖提供资金，以批判性地研究两个经典范例的沉积动力学的小潮，部分混合河口。 第一，重力环流是细颗粒泥沙向陆地输送的主要机制。 第二个是水柱内沉积物的汇聚输送是沿槽最大浑浊带的直接原因。在本提案的教育部分，PI要求提供资金，为研究生、本科生和高中生团队开发和实施教师监督的学习经验，这些团队将实践经验融入科学教学，其方式符合国家科学教育改革建议。
