U.S.-Brazil Program: The Role of Intertidal Environments in Global Biogeochemical Cycles: Planning visit for the Establishment of a Brazilian-US Research and Education Initiative

[0710744] dittmar美国-巴西的这项奖励将支持计划中的访问。佛罗里达州立大学的Thorsten Dittmar和William T. Cooper前往巴西里约热内卢的Campos dos Goytacazes，与北弗鲁米南塞州立大学的Carlos E. Rezende博士一起研究海岸带的生物地球化学。建立沿气候梯度沿海溶解有机质外移的定量基线，确定外移的驱动因素，评估DOM外移对海岸带微量元素循环的影响。多年来，两党一直通过远程沟通进行合作。这次计划中的访问将使双方面对面地就一个重要问题汇集各自的不同方法。双方的学生都将参与其中，为这一多学科的双边合作增加投资。

0710744DittmarThis U.S.-Brazil award will support a planning visit by Drs. Thorsten Dittmar and William T. Cooper of Florida State University to go to Campos dos Goytacazes in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to work with their counterpart, Dr. Carlos E. Rezende of North Fluminense State University on the biogeochemistry of coastal zones. They will work to establish a quantitative baseline of coastal outwelling of dissolved organic matter (DOM) along climatic gradients, identify the driving forces behind outwelling, and assess the impact of DOM outwelling on the cycling of trace elements in the coastal zone.The PIs have worked together over the years via distant communication. This planning visit will allow the two sides to bring together their different approaches to an important problem face to face. They will involve students from both sides, adding to the investment in this multi-disciplinary bi-national collaboration.
