FY1999 Great Lakes Projects
Improving Resolution of Monitoring Studies Involving Diatoms in the Great Lakes
| Improving Resolution of Monitoring Studies Involving Diatoms in the Great Lakes (GL005477-01-0: $94,959) |
| Recipient: The Regents of the University of Michigan |
| Project Period: 9/1/99 to 8/31/01 |
| Project Officer: Marc Tuchman (312-353-1389) |
Diatoms are perhaps the single most useful organisms for detecting the degree and magnitude of environmental change and have been widely used in this context in the Great Lakes. This project would provide the Great Lakes community with updated information on the rapidly changing diatom flora. It would provide assistance in the identification and naming of problematic taxa currently found in the Great Lakes basin.
