The National Park Service is offering a grant in collaboration with the University of Alaska Fairbanks to study the impact of heavy metal-enriched dust deposition on non-vascular plant communities along the Red Dog haul road. The project will involve ecological expertise from NPS and spatial modeling and statistical analysis from UAF to evaluate and document the effects rigorously. Both parties will contribute significantly to developing models and reports through close communication, review, and editing. Application deadline is on Oct 06, 2011.

| Description:: | This is a cooperative agreement between the NPS and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The NPS will provide ecological expertise associated with non-vascular plants. The University of Alaska Fairbanks will provide expertise with spatial modeling and statistical analysis. Both areas of expertise are required to produce a rigorous evaluation of the effects of heavy metal deposition on nonvascular plant communities. UAF and NPS will each play a significant role in developing all models and documents together, and the process will require substantial communication, review and editing. |
