Modeling the Effects of Heavy Metals on Vegetation in Cape Krusenstern National Monument and Noatak National Preserve: This project represents a joint federal-university partnership of support for research, as intended by the
CESU program. In this project, federal and university partners will be co-Principal Investigators on a
project designed to promote better understanding of an environmental problem in Cape Krusenstem
National Monument, Alaska. This differs considerably from a contract in that: a) both federal and university
partners are highly involved in the development of the research, and 2) a land grant university receives
research dollars that allow them to retain associate professors who continue the university's purpose of
serving public research needs. Without these research dollars, many staff such as Dr. Shiel would not be
able to be retained and the services to the public would thus be lost.
