Cooperative Agreement for affiliated Partner with Great Lakes – Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)
The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in developing a new tool that supports the use of established sediment bioavailability and toxicity screening metrics for assessing aquatic benthic invertebrate injury associated with contaminated sediments.
The overall goal is to develop a user-friendly dashboard tool to support the use of sediment chemistry in injury assessment.
The tool should contain references for standard methods, toxicity screening values and mechanistic models, and information integration within a graphic interface.
A dashboard tool using graphical interfaces and calculation software (such as Excel) is recommended because it can be easily downloaded, Natural Resource Damage Assessment research (NRDAR) practitioners are familiar with Excel, and the interface can be easily updated with the most recent screening criteria.
