This Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit grant offers funding for collaborative projects within the Columbia River Basin. The primary goals are to establish a monitoring program assessing zooplankton seasonality and population dynamics in the Columbia River above Bonneville Dam, and to implement experimental and monitoring regimens in the Columbia and John Day Rivers to understand the invasiveness of rusty crayfish. The project emphasizes cooperative design, implementation, analysis, and reporting of findings. Graduate students are expected to provide crucial logistical and analytical support, contributing to reports and peer-reviewed publications jointly authored with USGS Columbia River Research Laboratory staff. This grant supports vital research into aquatic ecosystem health.

Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. |
Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The purpose of this funding opportunity is to facilitate the formulation of collaborative projects with a CESU participant that will 1) establish a monitoring program to assess the status and trends in the seasonality and population dynamics of zooplankton in the Columbia River above Bonneville Dam and 2) establish an experimental and monitoring regimen in the Columbia and John Day Rivers that would help to understand the invasiveness of the rusty crayfish in the Columbia River Basin.. Project will be cooperatively to design, implement, analyze, and report the findings of the studies. Specifically, intention is for the graduate students to provide products in the form of logistical support in the field, analytical support in the laboratory, and reports and/or peer reviewed publications that will be jointly co-authored by recipient and USGS Columbia River Research Laboratory staff. |
