The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement to a CESU-affiliated partner. This grant is for developing datasets to establish predictive relationships between florescence of dissolved organic matter (FDOM) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in various SE Alaska freshwater types. The USGS seeks assistance for continuous monitoring surrogate development and documenting their link to measured water quality parameters. These studies will augment current USGS efforts in characterizing dissolved carbon in glacially dominated rivers and help evaluate standard methods for new water types. This initiative aims to foster a collective understanding of DOC concentrations and characteristics in SE Alaska streams, informing their sensitivity to pollutants.

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to assist in developing datasets for predictive relationships between florescence of dissolved organic matter (FDOM) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in freshwater types of SE Alaska. Surface water from large rivers is currently being collected and characterized, but from a limited variety of water types. Assistance in developing continuous monitoring surrogates and documenting the relationship between surrogates and measured water quality parameters, such as FDOM and dissolved carbon and organic matter, is sought. These studies will augment and inform current USGS efforts at characterizing dissolved carbon in glacially dominated large rivers and help evaluate USGS standard methods to new water types. It will also foster a collective understanding of the DOC concentrations and characteristics of SE Alaska streams and inform their sensitivity to pollutants. |
