POWRE: Learning and Application of Methods to the Prediction of In Situ Marine Primary Production Under the Influence of Changing Solar Ultraviolet Radiation

#00-74422 Prezelin该奖项提供资金，使PI能够学习计算分析和建模的现代方法，这将极大地拓宽她的研究范围。目前，她正在调查紫外线辐射(UVR)变化对海洋初级生产力的影响。然而，她希望将这项研究扩展到预测/理论模型，以了解紫外线辐射变化对浮游植物光生态和相关生态系统动力学的影响。最终，她希望开发一个主要的生产模型，该模型考虑到UVR在生态系统层面的影响，并从机械上基于控制海洋植物的UVR光生态的复杂调控生物学。这一奖项与POWRE项目相关，因为刚刚在行政职位上工作了四年的PI将能够扩大她的科学生涯，并继续提高女性在科学领域的知名度。

#00-74422PrezelinThis award provides funding that will enable the PI to learn modern methods of computational analyses and modeling that will significantly broaden the scope of her research. Currently, she is investigating the effects of changing Ultra Violet Radiation (UVR) on marine primary productivity. However she would like to expand this research into predictive/theoretical modeling of the consequences of UVR changes on phytoplankton photoecology and related ecosystem dynamics. Ultimately, she would like to develop a primary production model that considers the influence of UVR at the ecosystem level and that is mechanistically based upon the complex regulatory biology that controls the UVR photoecology of marine plants. This award is relevant to the POWRE program because the PI, who has just spent four years in an administrative position, will be able to expand her science career and continue to advance the visibility of women in science.
