U.S.-Mongolia Cooperative Research: Satellite Telephone Communication System for Biodiversity Studies in Mongolia

9722103 Goulden这是由费城自然科学学院Clyde Goulden博士提出的为期12个月的奖项。该提案要求提供资金，为国家科学基金会支持的蒙古生物多样性实地研究购买无线通信(电话)系统。每年夏天，来自美国、蒙古、俄罗斯和日本的20名研究科学家和学生聚集在蒙古北部的霍夫斯戈尔湖，研究该湖的生物和生态，并将该地区开发为国际长期生态研究地点。这是美国国家科学基金会资助的霍夫斯戈尔湖系统和生态研究项目的产物。蒙古国幅员辽阔，没有电话和通信基础设施。霍夫斯戈尔湖研究小组迫切需要一种无线通信系统。该项目也是检验无线通信是否适合在通信基础设施很少或没有通信基础设施的地区进行远程实地研究的一次重要试验。研究结果可用于改善在世界偏远地区运作的许多类似实地项目的沟通。

9722103 Goulden This is a 12-month award proposed by Dr. Clyde Goulden, Academy of Natural Science of Philadelphia. This proposal requests funds for purchasing a wireless communication (telephone) system for NSF supported biodiversity field studies in Mongolia. Each summer a group of twenty research scientists and students from the United States, Mongolia, Russia and Japan converge on Lake Hovsgol in northern Mongolia to study the biology and ecology of the lake and to develop this area for use as an international long-term ecological research site. This is an outgrowth of NSF supported project to study the systematic and ecology of Lake Hovsgol. Mongolia is a vast country without telephone and communication infrastructure. There is an urgent need for a wireless communication system for the research group at Hovsgol Lake. This project is also an important trial for examining the suitability of wireless communication for use in remote field studies in regions with little or no communication infrastructure. The results can be useful for improving communication in many similar field projects operating in remote regions of the world.
