US-Taiwan Collaborative Research in Coral Reef Biology

OISE-0721411 （Edmunds, Peter; University of California at Northridge）摘要该奖项支持美国科学家计划访问台湾，为珊瑚礁生态系统的科学合作奠定基础。拟议的合作涉及台湾垦丁ILTER站点和附近的国家海洋生物博物馆和水族馆的珊瑚礁，最终将包括与法属波利尼西亚Moorea的Moorea珊瑚芦苇LTER站点的比较研究。珊瑚礁是世界上最受威胁的生态系统之一，这项合作将有助于扩大资源管理者、政府官员和负责保护和管理珊瑚礁系统的其他人所需的知识基础。美国团队由PI彼得·埃德蒙兹和联合PI萨利·霍尔布鲁克领导，包括四名资深科学家和四名美国研究生。

OISE-0721411 (Edmunds, Peter; University of California at Northridge)ABSTRACTThis award supports a planning visit to Taiwan by U.S. scientists to lay the groundwork for a scientific collaboration in coral reef ecosystems. The proposed collaboration involves coral reefs at the Kenting ILTER site in Taiwan and the nearby National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium and will ultimate include comparative research with the Moorea Coral Reed LTER site in Moorea, French Polynesia. Coral reefs are one of the world's most threatened ecosystems, and the collaboration will contribute to the expansion of the knowledge base needed by resource managers, government officials and others charged with conservation and management of coral reef systems. The U.S. team, led by PI Peter Edmunds and co-PI Sally Holbrook, includes four senior scientists and four U.S. graduate students.
