Dissertation Enhancement: U.S.-Russia - Bacterial Distributions in the Suboxic Zone of the Black Sea

Oise 06-37866--这是一个支持俄罗斯科学家进行博士论文研究的项目，这些科学家来自P·P·谢尔肖夫海洋研究所南部分部。美国首席研究员兼顾问是华盛顿大学的詹姆斯·默里。他的学生是约翰·柯克帕特里克。俄罗斯的主要合作者是叶夫根尼·雅库舍夫。这一科学研究项目的主要目标是了解与黑海亚氧区氮循环有关的化学和微生物分布的巨大变异性。这一目标的应用将是获得有关黑海氧气/缺氧界面的形成、结构和位置的过程的定量信息。为了实现这一目标，约翰·柯克帕特里克和她的俄罗斯同事将进行一系列时间序列观测，包括乘坐俄罗斯考察船前往俄罗斯格伦日克附近黑海东北海岸附近的站点进行短期考察。这项研究的结果将有助于当地政策制定者做出与黑海富营养化有关的经济和社会决策。

OISE 06-37866Murray, JamesThis is a project that supports doctoral dissertation research with Russian scientists from the Southern Branch of the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanography. The U.S. principal investigator and advisor is James Murray from the University of Washington. His student is John Kirkpatrick. The lead Russian collaborator is Evgeniy Yakushev. The main goal of this scientific research project is to understand the large variability in the chemical and microbial distributions related to nitrogen cycling in the suboxic zone of the Black Sea. The application of this goal will be to obtain quantitative information about the processes responsible for the formation, structure, and position of the Black Sea's oxic/anoxic interface. In order to achieve this goal John Kirkpatrick, along with her Russian colleagues, will conduct a time-series of observations that will consist of short expeditions on Russian research vessels to stations near the northeastern coast of the Black Sea near Gelendzhik, Russia. The results of this research will help local policy makers in their economic and social decisions related to eutrophication of the Black Sea.
