The USGS is offering this grant for research to introduce a comprehensive framework for modeling changes in glacier runoff and associated biogeochemical fluxes on a regional scale. This effort will yield broad societal impacts, notably within the North Pacific Ecoregion and globally. The substantial runoff from Gulf of Alaska glaciers, surpassing the Mississippi River’s annual discharge, significantly influences the freshwater-driven Alaska Coastal Current (ACC). This grant aims to advance understanding of these critical environmental dynamics and their far-reaching implications.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity for research to introduce a comprehensive framework for modeling changes in glacier runoff and associated changes in biogeochemical fluxes on a regional scale. The results of the efforts will have broad societal impacts in both the North Pacific Ecoregion and globally. Runoff from glaciers along the GOA, which exceeds the annual discharge of the Mississippi River, is an important control of the structure of the freshwater-driven Alaska Coastal Current (ACC). |
