This funding opportunity is for developing precisely dated chronologies from lake trout otoliths to assess lake productivity impacts in freshwater ecosystems. Researchers will compare these with existing dedrochronologies to understand climate change effects on inland lakes. Applications are open to CESU partners to address environmental changes in long-lived fish species. The closing date for this grant is July 20, 2012.

Additional Information
| Agency Name:: | Geological Survey |
| Description:: | The US Geological Survey Alaska Science Center is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to develop exactly dated chronologies from the otoliths of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), a long-lived and non-migratory fish species, as indicators of lake productivity and compare these chronologies with existing dedrochronologies. Freshwater ecosystems are affected by environmental change and pronounced effects of climate change are being observed in many inland lakes. |
