0320793GayesThis Major Research Instrumentation award to Coastal Carolina University in South Carolina provides funds for acquisition of field instrumentation for research in coastal marine processes, especially erosion and faunal habitats. Instruments supported here include (1) a digital side-scan sonar system and (2) a sub-bottom profiling system, together with appropriate processing and analysis software and computer hardware. The instruments will be used in several ongoing research projects, and they will be integrated into the courses in the Coastal Marine and Wetland Studies curriculum, using both the University's small research vessel and planned continuation of ongoing collaborations with NOAA on the R/V Ferrel through the Sea Grant Program. A major thrust of CCU's program is integration of research and education, including a recent AIRE award from NSF, and these instruments support extension of that effort in marine sciences, enabling research projects by undergraduate students at this predominantly-undergraduate campus, as well as students in the new Master of Science program in Coastal Marine and Wetland Studies. The instrumentation award is supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences at NSF. ***

0320793Gayes 南卡罗来纳州沿海卡罗莱纳大学的这项重大研究仪器奖为购买现场仪器提供资金，用于沿海海洋过程研究，特别是侵蚀和动物栖息地。 这里支持的仪器包括（1）数字侧扫声纳系统和（2）海底剖面分析系统，以及适当的处理和分析软件和计算机硬件。 这些仪器将用于几个正在进行的研究项目，并将被纳入沿海海洋和湿地研究课程中，同时使用大学的小型研究船，并计划通过海洋资助计划继续与 NOAA 在 R/V Ferrel 上进行合作。 CCU 项目的一个主要推动力是研究和教育的整合，包括最近获得 NSF 颁发的 AIRE 奖，这些仪器支持在海洋科学方面的努力扩展，使这个以本科为主的校园的本科生以及新的沿海海洋和湿地研究理学硕士项目的学生能够开展研究项目。 该仪器奖由美国国家科学基金会海洋科学部支持。 ***
