Geological Survey

Description

The U.S. Geological Survey, John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis, is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for research to analyze contaminant effects in freshwater systems by synthesizing abiotic and biotic stream datasets. The project will synthesize the >20 years of standardized hydrological, chemical, and ecological samples collected from streams and rivers across the United States by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The datasets will be used to increase understanding of how contaminants such as salts, pesticides, and nutrients in water alter stream organisms, aquatic communities, and ecosystem function.
