The National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology is awarding $547,973 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (awarded August 1, 2026, with completion targeted for July 31, 2030) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for collaborative research on lake ecosystem metabolism. The primary deliverable is the Global Lake Metabolism Repository (GLAMR), a large-scale public data repository that will synthesize daily ecosystem metabolism estimates and associated metadata from at least 300 globally distributed lakes, spanning 1,500 lake-years and 400,000 lake-days. This data synthesis effort will incorporate long-term data from at least six Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and seven National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) sites. The research team will analyze GLAMR data to characterize metabolic regimes of lake ecosystems and explain temporal and spatial variation using advanced analytical methods including machine learning, time series clustering, and spatial statistics. Deliverables include evaluation of a conceptual model of lake metabolic regimes, assessment of drivers and seasonal decoupling patterns, and examination of temperature effects and spatial clustering across multiple model formulations. The project additionally builds transformative research infrastructure and educational capacity by developing cross-trained scientific workforce expertise in biology and data science, directly supporting the NSF Biological Sciences program's mission to advance understanding of biological processes and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
