The National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology awarded Grand Valley State University $485,620 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) effective August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2030. This collaborative research project will develop the Global Lake Metabolism Repository (GLAMR), a comprehensive public database synthesizing ecosystem metabolism data from at least 300 globally distributed lakes encompassing 1,500 lake-years and 400,000 lake-days of observations. The repository will integrate daily metabolism estimates and associated metadata from multiple long-term ecological research sites, including at least six Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and seven National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) sites, creating transformative infrastructure for lake ecosystem research. The research team will analyze GLAMR data using advanced analytical methods including machine learning, time series clustering, and spatial statistics to characterize lake metabolic regimes and explain temporal and geographic variation in ecosystem metabolism patterns. Deliverables include development of a conceptual model of lake metabolic regimes, hypothesis testing across multiple model formulations, and assessment of key drivers including seasonal decoupling and temperature effects on ecosystem productivity and respiration. This synthesis project will also support workforce development by building cross-disciplinary expertise in biology and data science among undergraduate and graduate participants.Federal Grant Award Summary
