The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Powell Center is offering a funding opportunity for research focused on enhancing the representation of groundwater within foundational Great Lakes hydrologic and hydrodynamic models and datasets. This grant is for a project that will integrate existing hydrological models and data with groundwater flux estimates across the Laurentian Great Lakes. The primary goal is to improve the understanding and representation of groundwater’s impact on the basin’s water balance. Key objectives include quantifying groundwater fluxes, developing comprehensive groundwater accounting by assembling simulations and historical datasets, and integrating groundwater flux into existing models. Furthermore, the project aims to combine surface water and groundwater flux models with lake hydrodynamic models to investigate how subsurface input influences lake circulation patterns.

| Description: | U.S. Geological Survey¿s (USGS) Powell Center, is offering a funding opportunity for research on ¿Improving representation of groundwater in foundational Great Lakes hydrologic and hydrodynamic models and data sets.¿ The project will combine existing hydrological models and data sets with groundwater flux estimates across the Laurentian Great Lakes to better represent the impacts of groundwater on the water balance of the basin. Goals are to (1) quantify groundwater fluxes through the Great Lakes; (2) develop groundwater accounting by a) identifying and assembling model simulations and historical data sets for each component of the Great Lakes hydrologic cycle, and b) incorporating groundwater flux into existing models; (3) combine surface water and groundwater flux models with lake hydrodynamic models in order to increase understanding of whether subsurface input influences lake circulation patterns. |
