This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program totaling $429,823 supports a collaborative research effort to investigate the Holocene biogeochemical evolution of the Great Lakes. The research team from Central Michigan University and Michigan State University will collect sediment cores from Lakes Superior, Huron, and Erie to analyze elemental and isotopic geochemical cycles over geologic time. This work will provide insights into past productivity,...
This $1,556,130 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) establishes the Great Lakes Center for Fresh Waters and Human Health. The Center is a five-year consortium led by the University of Michigan and University of Toledo that aims to advance understanding of how climate change impacts cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) and their threats to freshwater ecosystems and human health in the Great Lakes region.
Key goals of the Center's...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant in the amount of $300,000 was awarded to Michigan State University to investigate the complex interactions between human disturbances and natural features that impact U.S. lake ecosystems and harmful algal blooms. The key products and services to be delivered through this 2-year award include:
Developing machine learning models to quantify the relationships between multiple human disturbances and their...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant award of $518,578 to Michigan State University (MSU), with a period of performance from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2027, will investigate the Holocene biogeochemical evolution of the Great Lakes system. The project will collect sediment cores from Lakes Superior, Huron, and Erie to analyze geochemical proxies, including mercury isotopes, nutrient concentrations, and redox-sensitive elements.
