US-France Planning Visit and Workshop: Modern Biogeochemical Cycling Processes in Mud Wave-Deltaic Deposits Along the Guianas Coast, Kourou, French Guiana

0334664 Aller该奖项为期一年，支持对法属圭亚那库鲁的规划访问，以及随后的研讨会，以探索美国-法国合作研究亚马逊-圭亚那沿着泥波-三角洲沉积物中的地球化学循环过程。 红树林环绕的海岸线，如沿着圭亚那的海岸线，与沿海海洋循环和交换养分，大大增加了邻近沃茨的肥力。 由Josephine Y.纽约州立大学斯托尼布鲁克分校的阿勒和法属圭亚那库鲁国家科学研究中心（CNRS）研究实验室的Francois Fromard和Alain Pave，美国和法国的研究人员将为微生物地球化学和现代元素循环的研究奠定基础。 他们将讨论沉积物的运输过程，早期的自生反应，在潮间带和潮下沉积物中的微生物群落，以及红树林边缘，沿海沃茨和大气之间的物质交换的问题。 美国国家科学基金会将资助来自纽约州立大学斯托尼布鲁克、杜兰大学和路易斯安那大学的6人多学科小组前往法属圭亚那。 他们将会见来自法国几所大学和位于库鲁的CNRS研究平台、位于库鲁的国家农业工程、水管理和森林学院以及位于卡宴的发展研究所的科学家。 该讲习班将为推动关于热带沿海边缘的中心作用的研究奠定基础，热带沿海边缘目前在世界海洋的大陆物质输入中占主导地位。

0334664AllerThis one-year award supports a planning visit to Kourou, French Guiana and subsequent workshop to explore U.S.-France cooperative research on biogeochemical cycling processes in mud wave-deltaic deposits along the Amazon - Guianas coast. Mangrove-fringed coastlines, such as those along the Guianas, recycle and exchange nutrients with the coastal ocean and significantly increase the fertility of adjacent waters. Led by Josephine Y. Aller of the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook and Francois Fromard and Alain Pave of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) research laboratory in Kourou, French Guiana, the U.S. and French researchers will lay the groundwork for investigations in microbial biogeochemistry and modern elemental cycling in a typical coastal mud wave system along the Guianas. They will address issues of sedimentary transport processes, early digenetic reactions, the microbial community in the intertidal and sub tidal deposits, and the exchange of material between the mangrove fringe, coastal waters, and atmosphere. NSF will fund travel to French Guiana of a 6 person multidisciplinary team from SUNY Stony Brook, Tulane University, and University of Louisiana. They will meet with scientists from several French universities and from the CNRS research platform located in Kourou, the National College for Agricultural Engineering, Water Management and Forests in Kourou, and the Research Institute for Development in Cayenne. This workshop would set the stage for advancing research on the central role of tropical coastal margins, which presently dominate continental inputs of materials in the world oceans.
