FY1999 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.
