This grant from the US Geological Survey aims to fund research on validating the Biotic Ligand Model for Nickel and Zinc through toxicity testing with natural waters. The research will focus on assessing the sensitivity of the mayfly Neocloeon triangulifer to the toxic effects of nickel and zinc in different water chemistries and evaluating the reliability of Biotic Ligand Models. The closing date for this opportunity is November 17, 2016.
