The Department of Environmental Sciences is offering a grant to conduct Walker Lake Benthic Invertebrate Research. This grant aims to track benthic community ecology, assess the lake’s health, diversity, and productivity, study food web interactions and changes over time, analyze thermal environment variations, determine conditions for Hyalella recovery, establish algae abundance patterns, and study water birds and feeding activities in the nearshore lake environment. Applications are open until Jul 02, 2013.
