The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this cooperative agreement to a CESU-affiliated partner for critical research. This grant is specifically for broad-scale water quality modeling within the Chesapeake Watershed, with a strong emphasis on understanding water temperature dynamics. Water temperature is a vital “master variable” influencing numerous aquatic outcomes, including habitat suitability, evaporation rates, greenhouse gas exchange, and the efficiency of thermoelectric energy production. Despite extensive monitoring by the USGS, existing data presents spatial and temporal gaps. Therefore, this funding aims to support essential modeling efforts to comprehensively understand broad-scale temperature dynamics and supply crucial, decision-ready data to stakeholders, addressing significant environmental and resource management challenges.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in broad scale water quality modeling, with an emphasis on water temperature. Water temperature is a “master variable” for many important aquatic outcomes, including the suitability of habitat, evaporation rates, greenhouse gas exchange, and efficiency of thermoelectric energy production. Stream temperature is one of the most widely measured water characteristics by the USGS, though monitoring gaps in time and space requires modeling efforts to understand broad-scale temperature dynamics and supply decision-ready data to our stakeholders. |
