This US-Brazil award for a planning visit was submitted by Dr. Francis Otuonye of Michigan Technological University requesting support to go to the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) to plan a collaborative research with Professor Maria Jose Gazzi Salum. The topic of this research would be the integrated approach to reducing the environmental impacts of mining through effective mine designs. In addition, they wish to arrange a student exchange program.This support will allow the PIs to gain an understanding of the research capabilities of the faculty and staff at UFMG; to evaluate the research infrastructure available; to evaluate the problems and opportunities related to environmental impacts of mining operations in Brazil; and to develop a collaborative research proposal. The second objective is to finalize arrangements for a student exchange program between the two universities. The problem of environmental damage from mining impacts both countries. New methods for analyzing this damage, mitigating the damage and remediating it are needed.

这项美国-巴西计划访问奖由密歇根理工大学的 Francis Otuonye 博士提交，请求支持前往米纳斯吉拉斯联邦大学 (UFMG) 计划与 Maria Jose Gazzi Salum 教授进行合作研究。 本研究的主题是通过有效的矿山设计减少采矿对环境影响的综合方法。 此外，他们希望安排学生交流计划。这种支持将使PI能够了解UFMG教职员工的研究能力；评估可用的研究基础设施；评估与巴西采矿作业环境影响相关的问题和机遇；并制定合作研究计划。 第二个目标是敲定两所大学之间的学生交换计划的安排。 采矿造成的环境破坏问题影响着两国。 需要新的方法来分析这种损害、减轻损害并进行补救。
