0088047BellThis award supports a two year project to address fundamental questions about the mass and energy flux through Lake Vostok, a subglacial lake in East Antarctica, sealed beneath almost 4 kilometers of ice. The project will involve developing lake circulation models, complemented by the analysis of new ice penetrating radar data over the lake and surrounding regions. This project will help to accurately define the regions of melting and freezing within the lake and help to provide an improved estimate of the form of the lake. The combined data analysis and modeling effort will provide a critical framework for developing international plans to sample the waters of Lake Vostok for biota and to recover sediments from Lake Vostok for paleoclimate studies.

0088047BELTHIS奖支持了为期两年的项目，以解决有关瓦斯托克湖的质量和能量通量的基本问题，沃斯托克湖是南极洲东部的冰川湖，密封在近4公里的冰中。 该项目将涉及开发湖泊循环模型，并通过对湖泊和周边地区的新冰雷达数据的分析进行补充。 该项目将有助于准确定义湖泊内融化和冷冻区域，并有助于对湖泊形式进行改进的估计。 合并的数据分析和建模工作将为制定国际计划提供一个关键框架，以品尝沃斯托克湖的生物群岛水域，并从沃斯托克湖（Lake Vostok）回收古气候研究的沉积物。
