Cooperative Agreement for affiliated Partner with Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)
This funding opportunity is designed for research organizations and academic institutions to study riverine silicon dynamics and its effects on the global carbon cycle, with a focus on expanding a database and developing tools to enhance understanding of nutrient flows in rivers.
Description
U.S. Geological Surveys (USGS) Powell Center is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for research on Are we experiencing a riverine silicon surge? Implications for the global carbon cycle. This research will quantify and synthesize the magnitude, spatial extent, seasonality, and drivers of changing river silicon (Si) stoichiometry (e.g., ratios of Si to nutrients) over time at the global scale.
