The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $443,794 Project Grant from the US Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program (CFDA 15.805). The grant will support research analyzing sediment transport and legacy phosphorus mobilization across spatial and temporal scales in agricultural watersheds located in Minnesota.

Specifically, the university researchers will assemble and collect hydrologic and water quality data across seasons and nested watershed scales to inform conceptual and distributed hydrologic models. The models will diagnose and forecast sediment and nutrient delivery to, transport through, and storage within river networks. This comprehensive data and associated modeling will provide guidance to inform current USGS and academic efforts aimed at resolving persistent water quality and legacy nutrient issues throughout the Upper Midwest region. The research outcomes will benefit resource managers in areas experiencing harmful algal blooms and hypoxia.
