ADVANCE Fellows Award - Seamount Ecology: From Information to Knowledge

该奖项为一个由两个主要部分组成的先期项目提供资金：1)扩大和扩大现有的海山物种分布数据在线数据库(海山在线：http://seamounts.sdsc.edu)；)；2)利用这一全球数据集系统地测试有关海山特有物种的若干假设。数据库内容将扩大，以涵盖海山所有高质量物种水平的采样。这项工作的结果将进一步加深我们对与海山相关的物种的了解，其中许多物种对美国经济有价值。它可能会让我们更好地管理这些资源。先进奖旨在促进女性在科学领域的职业生涯。

This award provides funding for an ADVANCE project with two main components; 1) To enlarge and expand an existing online database of species distribution data from seamounts (Seamounts Online: http://seamounts.sdsc.edu); and 2) the systematic testing of several hypotheses about species endemic to seamounts using this global dataset. The database content will be expanded to cover all high-quality species level sampling from seamounts. The results of this work will further our understanding of species associated with seamounts, many of which are valuable to the U.S. economy. It may allow us to better manage these resources.ADVANCE awards are intended to promote the careers of women in science.
