Dissertation Enhancement: Characterization of High Molecular Weight Dissolved Organic Matter in the Pearl River Estuary

0084154 Chen这是一份为期一年的论文强化计划，由马萨诸塞州大学环境、海岸和海洋科学博士生Julie卡拉汉女士和她的导师Robert Chen博士提交。 该项目涉及与中国厦门大学戴敏汉教授的合作。 这项研究将表征高分子量溶解有机物在前河口。 该项目将为比较研究两个大型河流系统，即密西西比河羽流和前河河口提供一个极好的机会，并将满足对这些河口中溶解有机物质循环信息的需求。 这也将为卡拉汉女士提供机会进行博士学位。在中国的研究，并为她获得宝贵的实地研究经验。 国家自然科学基金委员会和美国国家科学基金会共同支持该项目。

0084154ChenThis is a one-year dissertation enhancement proposal submitted by Ms. Julie Callahan, a doctoral candidate in Environmental, Coastal and Ocean sciences, University of Massachusetts at Boston and her advisor, Dr. Robert Chen. This project involves collaboration with Professor Minhan Dai, Xiamen University, China. This study will characterize high molecular weight dissolved organic matter in the Preal River Estuary. This project will provide an excellent opportunity for comparative studies of two large river systems, the Mississippi River plume and the Preal River Estuary and will fill a need for information on cycling of dissolved organic materials in these estuaries. This will also provide opportunities for Ms. Callahan to carry out Ph.D. research in China, and for her to gain valuable field research experience there. The Natural Science Foundation of China and the NSF jointly support this project.
