CAREER Development Program: Sediment Transport and Trappingin Estuaries, Southeastern United States

拨款用于检查南卡罗来纳和乔治亚州三个河口的沉积物运输过程。每项研究都将侧重于河口沉积物捕获的物理过程。项目接口是一个以目标为导向的多年期项目，旨在培养大学生的科学思维、科学方法和科学交流能力。温亚湾沉积物动力学的研究将为生产力、营养和有机碳循环以及河口物理化学过程的多学科研究提供平台。

Funds are provided to examine sediment transport processes in three estuaries in South Carolina or Georgia. Each study will focus on the physical processes responsible for trapping sediments within the estuary. Support is also provided for Project Interface, which is a goal-oriented, multi-year program for undergraduates to attain the skills of scientific thinking, methods, and communication. The study of sediment dynamics in Winyah Bay will provide the platform for multi-disciplinary studies of productivity, nutrient and organic carbon cycling, and physical-chemical estuarine processes.
