The US Geological Survey, Alaska Science Center, is offering a funding opportunity for ecological research. This grant aims to develop precisely dated chronologies using otoliths (ear bones) from lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), a long-lived and non-migratory fish species. This grant is for the purpose of utilizing these chronologies as robust indicators of lake productivity. A key component of the research involves comparing these new otolith chronologies with existing dendrochronologies (tree-ring data). This project is designed to enhance understanding of aquatic ecosystem health and historical environmental conditions through innovative biological indicators.
