U.S. - European Union Planning Visit: Investigation of Surface/Subsurface Exchange Processes in Meandering Streams

这一为期一年的奖项将支持三个国家的研究人员之间在曲折河流的地表/地下交换过程方面开展合作的计划访问。PI将参观H.R.Wallingford水力实验室独特的蜿蜒河道设施，以观察两名欧洲研究人员--英国谢菲尔德大学的Ian Gumer和意大利帕多瓦大学的Andrea Marion进行的实验。访问的目的将是启动一项合作，利用欧洲和美国在三维、自然形成的渠道和河床之间的横向混合和扩散以及河床和河床之间的胶体交换以及其他河流/地下交换过程及其对污染物传输的影响方面的专门知识。

The PI will visit the unique meandering channel facility at the H.R. Wallingford Hydraulics Laboratory to observe the experiments conducted by the two European investigators, Ian Guymer of Sheffield University in the United Kingdom, and Andrea Marion of the University of Padua in Italy. The objective of the visit will be the initiation of a collaboration that takes advantage of the European and US expertise in lateral mixing and dispersion in three-dimensional, naturally-formed channels and bedform-driven colloid exchange between streams and stream beds and additional stream/subsurface exchange processes and their impact on contaminant transport.
