This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provided $189,933 to Grand Valley State University from February 2021 through January 2023. The funding supports collaborative research on the biogeochemistry of diurnal vertical migration in microbial mats within Lake Huron's sinkholes. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system, including atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. This award furthers those goals by investigating the biological and chemical processes within microbial mats in Lake Huron's unique sinkhole environments over daily cycles.
