The USGS is offering this grant opportunity to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner to conduct vital research on carbon dioxide and methane stock and flux rates within Alaskan aquatic ecosystems. This funding is specifically designed to support a graduate student, along with essential resources and materials, for this critical work. The grant’s purpose is to verify biogeochemistry models, simulate projected changes in land and aquatic ecosystems, develop innovative research methodologies, and perform regional simulations of greenhouse gas emissions. Key objectives include understanding how CO2 and CH4 budgets in Alaskan freshwater ecosystems might change, identifying primary drivers, and exploring the relationship between these budget shifts and surface hydrology, including increased wetness and the types of water bodies like thermokarst lakes.
