This POWRE project designs and implements prototype software that integrates database management and geographic information for the purpose of monitoring and forecasting the distribution of environmental pollutants. Mercury contamination, which has been identified as a significant environmental threat both in Massachusetts and across the nation, serves as the initial focus of this project. Specifically, this project develops technology that enables effective collection and rapid processing and interpretation of vast quantities of complex data relating to diverse environmental pollutants. This POWRE award is used specifically to enable the investigator to partner with environmental biologists from governmental organizations and computer scientists from a commercial organization, leading to significant professional advancement of the investigator. In addition, the award supports the investigator's study of new methods of environmental monitoring and forecasting over a relatively short period of time with the long-term goal of establishing academic leadership in the field of environmental conservation.

该POWRE项目设计并实施了一个原型软件，该软件将数据库管理和地理信息结合起来，用于监测和预测环境污染物的分布。 汞污染已被确定为马萨诸塞州和全国范围内的重大环境威胁，是该项目的初始重点。 具体而言，该项目开发的技术能够有效收集和快速处理与各种环境污染物有关的大量复杂数据。 该奖项专门用于使研究人员能够与政府组织的环境生物学家和商业组织的计算机科学家合作，从而使研究人员获得重大的专业进步。 此外，该奖项还支持研究人员在相对较短的时间内研究环境监测和预测的新方法，其长期目标是在环境保护领域建立学术领导地位。
