FY 1999 Great Lakes Projects
A Mercury Screening Model for Lake St.
Clair
| A Mercury Screening Model for Lake St. Clair
(GL975145-01-0: $74,909) |
| Recipient: State University of New York at Buffalo |
| Project Period: 09/1/99 to 2/28/01 |
| Project Officer: Kathleen O’Connor |
This grant will support the development of a model for the transport and
fate of mercury in Lake St. Clair, where mercury is a well documented
problem. This model will simulate mercury sources, water and sediment
concentrations, and fish bioaccumulation in Lake St. Clair. It will be used
to evaluate trends, direct research needs, and provide guidance to Great
Lakes managers. The model which results from this project will eventually be
of use throughout the Great Lakes Basin. |
