Earth Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Award

在他的博士后研究中，这位研究员将分离、分离和表征海水中溶解有机碳(DOC)的分析量，以寻找可能的代表性分子。通过在每一步测量DOC，将实现定量的质量平衡。这对于确定每个DOC分数在全球范围内的重要性至关重要。主要部分将从深度和空间变化方面进行调查。研究应该揭示海洋中DOC的相对来源；陆源、海洋源、沉积源和浮游源都有特征信号。最终，这些数据可以合并到全球环流模型中，但由于DOC被视为具有一个地球化学循环的一个物种，目前还不可能进行建模。他在伍兹霍尔海洋研究所(WHOI)的学习为那里的人员和设施提供了理想的匹配。有机化学鉴定技术的专业知识与本文作者对DOC的研究相结合，将是理解全球DOC循环的独特途径。//

For his post-doctoral studies, this Fellow will isolate, fractionate, and characterize analytical quantities of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in seawater in order to find possible representative molecules. By measuring DOC at every step, a quantitative mass balance will be achieved. This is critical for determining the significance of each DOC fraction on a global scale. The major fractions will be investigated in terms of depth and spatial variations. Studies should reveal the relative sources of DOC in the oceans; terrestrial, marine, sedimentary, and planktonic sources all have characteristic signals. Ultimately these data can be incorporated into a global circulation model, modelling not currently possible as DOC is treated as one species with one geochemical cycle. His studies at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) provide an ideal match for the personnel and facilities there. The blend of expertise in organic chemistry identification techniques and this Fellow's studies of DOC will be an unique approach to understanding global DOC cycling.//
