0645301McCallisterThis award supports a planning visit to enable Dr. Shannon McCallister of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond to meet with Dr. Barrie Peake at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. The visit will help develop a collaborative plan for a study of radiocarbon measurements of organic carbon in Doubtful Sound, NZ. The project will help gain an understanding of carbon cycling and its linkage to the water cycle in an important system that can be applied to other active margin high relief regions. An assessment of the sources, ages and reactivity of particulate organic carbon (POC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) exported from the Doubtful Sound will provide a better understanding of the subsequent fate of organic matter in coastal seas and more accurately constrain CO2 budgets in this region. The researchers have a unique expertise in measurements of organic matter characterization and cycling. It is also anticipated that this project will provide unique training and educational opportunities for a U.S. undergraduate student to obtain a global research experience. It is anticipated that the collaborations between the scientists and students from each country will lead to long-term collaborations that will benefit both the institutions.

0645301 McCallister该奖项支持计划访问，使里士满弗吉尼亚联邦大学的Shannon McCallister博士能够在新西兰达尼丁的奥塔哥大学与巴里皮克博士会面。 此次访问将有助于制定一项合作计划，以研究新西兰可疑海湾有机碳的放射性碳测量。 该项目将有助于了解碳循环及其与一个重要系统中的水循环的联系，该系统可应用于其他活动边际高起伏地区。 从可疑的声音输出的颗粒有机碳（POC）和溶解有机碳（DOC）的来源，年龄和反应性的评估将提供一个更好的理解有机物质在沿海海域的后续命运，更准确地限制在该地区的CO2预算。 研究人员在有机物表征和循环测量方面拥有独特的专业知识。 预计该项目还将为美国本科生提供独特的培训和教育机会，以获得全球研究经验。 预计来自每个国家的科学家和学生之间的合作将导致长期合作，这将使两个机构受益。
