The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Southwest Biological Science Center is offering a funding opportunity to a member of the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU). This grant is for supporting ecological research along the Colorado River in Arizona, specifically aiming to enhance understanding of phosphorus’s role in driving Grand Canyon ecosystem dynamics. The project involves developing a comprehensive phosphorus budget for the Colorado River ecosystem, which includes measuring inputs from Lake Powell and tributary streams. Key responsibilities for the CESU partner include quantifying the relationships between sediment, turbidity, and phosphorus, and assessing phosphorus inputs during often-remote and ungauged tributary flooding events. This initiative fosters cooperation between USGS and CESU partners to advance critical ecological knowledge.
