This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) program provides $812,484 to Cornell University to conduct research on long-term patterns and drivers of trace and ultratrace elements in boreal streams. The project will examine how human activities and global changes impact the movement of elements from the atmosphere to land and into streams, particularly in northern latitude regions. The research aims to quantify long-term streamwater patterns for a suite of trace elements over several decades (1985-2023) to identify the primary geochemical and hydrological drivers of variability in streamwater trace element concentrations and flux. The results will inform management and mitigation strategies for trace elements in boreal streams and their impacts on human and ecosystem health. Additionally, the project will develop curriculum modules for a high school summer program to provide hands-on experience connecting basic science to real-world problem-solving.
