Dave Ralston wins prestigious ONR Young Investigator Award

摘要

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has selected David Ralston to receive one of the U.S. Navy's 2008 Young Investigator Awards. Ralston, an assistant scientist in the WHOI Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering Department, is among 27 researchers honored nationwide in the highly competitive Young Investigator program. Typically, about 10 percent of the submitted proposals are chosen for funding. This year the ONR received 208 proposals. Ralston will receive up to $100,000 a year for a period of three years to fund his studies on how fresh and salt water mix and spread in intertidal regions-salt marshes and mud or sand flats.
