US-Turkey/Ukraine Cooperative Research: Research in the Black Sea

项目描述：本项目支持由华盛顿大学（UW）西雅图海洋学院James Murray博士、土耳其Erdemli-Icel中东技术大学海洋科学研究所Ilkay Salihoglu博士和乌克兰国家科学院海洋水文物理研究所Sergey Konovalov博士领导的科学家和研究生团队开展的合作研究项目。这个为期两年的项目将利用2001年在黑海的R/V Knorr研究巡航期间收集的新样本。本研究分为三个项目：1。由Murray博士和一名华盛顿大学的研究生，一名来自IMS的土耳其科学家，以及一名来自MHI的乌克兰科学家共同进行的，由博斯普鲁斯流入的通风导致的黑海缺氧区上层氧、硫化物和营养物质的化学空间变异性。2. 土耳其科学家Murray博士和IMS的一名土耳其研究生对黑海水柱中氧化/亚氧化/缺氧层中颗粒物质中的氧化还原金属（包括Mn、Fe、Cd、Mo、U、V和Re）进行了地球化学研究。3. 应用分子遗传学技术了解Calanus sp.种群遗传结构的研究由2名来自UW的青年科学家和1名来自IMS的科学家和研究生完成。两位土耳其科学家和两位土耳其研究生将于2002年1月至4月访问华盛顿大学。来自华盛顿大学的两位美国青年科学家将于2002年6月至7月访问土耳其的IMS。这位乌克兰科学家将于2003年冬天前往美国。穆雷和他的研究生将于2003年4 - 5月访问土耳其和乌克兰，一名土耳其科学家将于2003年8月访问美国。范围：该项目补充了美国PI在美国国家科学基金会海洋科学部的单独资助下进行的有关黑海的研究。该项目将为来自土耳其的研究生和科学家提供一个机会，使用在美国可用的最先进的分析技术，但不是在土耳其。此次合作将为两名美国青年科学家和一名美国女研究生提供参与该国际项目的机会。它将使这三个国家的科学家能够发展未来的国际合作。该项目符合INT支持互惠项目的目标。资金由国际科学与工程办公室和海洋科学司提供。

0137601MurrayDescription: This project supports a cooperative research project by teams of scientists and graduate students headed by Dr. James Murray, School of Oceanography, University of Washington (UW), Seattle, Washington, Dr. Ilkay Salihoglu, Institute of Marine Sciences (IMS), Middle East Technical University, Erdemli-Icel, Turkey, and Dr. Sergey Konovalov, Marine Hydrophysical Institute (MHI), Ukraine National Academy of Sciences, Sevastopol, Ukraine. This two-year project will take advantage of new samples collected during the 2001 R/V Knorr research cruise in the Black Sea. The research is divided into three projects: 1. Spatial variability in the chemistry of oxygen, sulfide and nutrients in the upper layer of the anoxic zone in the Black Sea due to ventilation from the Bosphorus Inflow conducted by Dr. Murray and a UW graduate student, a Turkish scientist from IMS, and a Ukrainian scientist from MHI. 2. Geochemistry of redox metals (including Mn, Fe, Cd, Mo, U, V, and Re) in particulate matter across the oxic/suboxic/anoxic layers in the water column of the Black Sea, conducted by Dr. Murray, a Turkish scientist, and a Turkish graduate student from IMS. 3. Application of molecular genetic techniques for understanding population genetic structure of Calanus sp. conducted by two junior scientists from UW and a scientist and graduate student from IMS. Two Turkish scientists and two Turkish graduate students will visit UW between January and April 2002. Two US junior scientists from UW will visit IMS in Turkey in June-July 2002. The Ukrainian scientist will travel to the US in winter 2003. Murray and his graduate student will travel to Turkey and Ukraine in April-May 2003, and a Turkish scientist will visit the US in August 2003.Scope: This project complements research dealing with the Black Sea being carried out by the US PI under separate funding from the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences. This project will provide graduate students and scientists from Turkey a chance to use state of the art analytical techniques available in the US, but not in Turkey. The collaboration will offer opportunities for two US junior scientists and one female US graduate student to participate in this international project. It will allow scientists from all three countries to develop future international collaborations. The project meets INT objectives of supporting projects of mutual benefit. Funding is provided by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Ocean Sciences.
