The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Alaska Science Center is offering a grant to a CESU partner for studying contaminant exposure in polar bears of the southern Beaufort Sea. The research aims to quantify the impact of persistent organic pollutants and polychlorinated biphenyls on polar bears due to sea ice loss, leading to changes in bear behavior. By analyzing blood samples, the study seeks to understand the potential effects of increased land activity on bear health. The deadline for application submission is December 28, 2015.

| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Alaska Science Center (ASC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to support an evaluation of contaminant exposure of polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea. Specifically, the objective is to use blood samples to quantify exposure to persistent organic pollutants and polychlorinated biphenyls. The southern Beaufort Sea subpopulation of polar bears has experienced sea ice loss leading to an increasing trend of polar bears spending time on land during summer and possibly increased exposure to contaminants. A characterization of exposure may reveal whether changing behavior has the potential to mediate declines in polar bear health. |
