This award will support doctoral student Shanon McIntyre from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder to work with experts at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH-Zurich) to conduct research for her doctoral dissertation dealing with the development of algorithms to address problems of efficient and affordable numerical simulations of global ocean circulation. Ms. McIntyre will visit ETH-Zurich to work with the team led by Dr. Taras Gerya for an initial three month period and then return for a shorter visit at a later time. While she is in Europe, she will also collaborate with researchers Giuliano de Stefano at the Second University of Naples in Italy and Kai Schneider at the Université de Provence in France. The researchers will work together to address the problems of limited horizontal resolution and the representation of bathymetry in global ocean circulation modeling. This work should provide crucial insight into the role of ocean circulation in mediating the effects of anthropogenic climate change.

该奖项将支持来自科罗拉多大学博尔德分校机械工程系的博士生Shanon McIntyre与苏黎世瑞士联邦理工学院(ETH-Zurich)的专家合作，为她的博士论文进行研究，该论文涉及开发算法，以解决高效和负担得起的全球海洋环流数值模拟问题。麦金太尔女士将访问苏黎世理工大学，与塔拉斯·格里亚博士领导的团队一起工作，最初为期三个月，然后再回来进行较短的访问。在欧洲期间，她还将与意大利那不勒斯第二大学的朱利亚诺·德·斯特凡诺和法国普罗旺斯大学的凯·施奈德合作。研究人员将共同努力，解决全球海洋环流建模中水平分辨率有限和水深测量表示的问题。这项工作应对海洋环流在调节人为气候变化影响方面的作用提供至关重要的见解。
