U.S. - Russia Studies of Northern Marine Ecosystems

小行星9316232 这次跨部门转移到美国鱼类和野生动物管理局，为美国联合海洋学考察系列中的第四次提供了费用分摊。俄罗斯环境协定。 1993年的考察将包括来自几个机构的美国科学家和来自莫斯科的俄罗斯全球气候和生态研究所的科学家。 考察的重点是污染物的地球化学循环、相关的海洋学过程、流经该地区的北太平洋沃茨中的食物网相互作用以及有机污染物在水/沉积物界面的行为。 研究的地理区域将从白令海和楚科奇海的大陆架到白令海深海。 密集生物取样地点将包括自1977年以来已访问过四次的几个长期监测地点（多边形）。 俄罗斯和美国的研究是全面和高度综合的，海洋科学和极地方案司将对数据感兴趣。 ***

9316232 Kohl This interagency transfer to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service provides cost sharing for the fourth in a series of joint oceanographic expeditions under the U.S.-Russia Environmental Agreement. The 1993 expedition will involve U.S. scientists from several institutions and scientists from Russia's Institute of Global Climate and Ecology in Moscow. The expedition will focus on the biogeochemical cycles of contaminants, related oceanographic processes, food-web interactions in North Pacific waters flowing through the area, and behavior of organic pollutants at the water/sediment interface. Geographic areas of study will range from the continental shelves of the Bering and Chukchi Seas to the deep Bering Sea. Intensive biological sampling locations will include several long-term monitoring sites (polygons) that have been visited four times since 1977. The Russian-American research is comprehensive and highly integrated and the data will be of interest to the Divisions of Ocean Sciences and Polar Programs. ***
