The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is offering a Cooperative Agreement opportunity. This grant aims to fund a university affiliated with the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) to conduct critical research. The purpose is to develop integrated models predicting potential dust emissions and dispersion from the shorelines of Lake Powell and Lake Mead. These are the two largest reservoirs in the Colorado River Basin. The ultimate goal is to generate data and insights that will inform decision-making processes regarding potential natural resource degradation and human health impacts, stemming from water use, regulation, and policy decisions in the region. This initiative promotes vital cooperation between USGS and academic partners.
