Early Career: Technician Support for a Field-Based Research Program in Ecohydrology

1462169伊曼纽尔这笔赠款将支持一名现场和实验室技术人员，他们将参与国家科学基金会资助的研究项目，重点是物理水文学和陆地生态系统生态之间的相互作用。其中一些问题包括：地形和植被如何共同影响源头流域的径流产生？在复杂的景观中，水和碳循环之间的关键耦合点是什么？哪些因素决定了以淡水为主的沿海生态系统对地表水盐碱化的脆弱性？这位技术人员将通过参与研究来为指导学生的持续努力做出贡献，并扩大科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)中代表性较低的群体的参与，并将直接支持一名早期职业生涯的美洲原住民地球科学家。***

1462169EmanuelThis grant will support a field and laboratory technician who will be enagegd in NSF funded research projects focused on the interaction between physical hydrology and terrestrial ecosystem ecology. Some of these questions include: How do topography and vegetation jointly influence runoff generation in headwater catchments? What are key coupling points between water and carbon cycles in complex landscapes? and What factors determine the vulnerability of freshwater-dominated coastal ecosystems to surface water salinization? The technician will contribute to ongoing efforts to mentor students through participation in research and to broaden participation among groups underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and will directly support an early career Native American geoscientist. ***
