This is a grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) to the Trustees of Dartmouth College for a research project focused on understanding how human population growth, land use changes, and climate variability impact water quality in forested lake ecosystems in the northeastern United States. The $1,611,575.04 grant project has the overarching goal of transforming knowledge on the interactive effects of these factors on lake water clarity and cyanobacterial blooms. Specific...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), part of the University System of New Hampshire (USNH), for a research project titled "Using Remote Sensing and Field Investigations of Suspended Sediments to Determine the Role of Resuspension Events on Nutrient Dynamics and Phytoplankton Responses in Western Lake Erie." The $541,319.50 grant will fund a study using in-situ observations, lab experiments, modeling, and satellite data to quantify how wind-driven sediment resuspension in Lake Erie releases nutrients that stimulate algal blooms, including harmful cyanobacteria. The project aims to improve understanding of the mechanisms driving these blooms and provide seasonal estimates of the contribution of internal nutrient loading from sediment resuspension compared to external river nutrient loading. There is no set-aside designation for this award. UNH, as the prime recipient, may utilize subcontractors to support the research effort.
