Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU: U.S. Geological Survey¿s (USGS) Powell Center, is offering a funding opportunity for research on ¿Improving representation of groundwater in foundational Great Lakes hydrologic and hydrodynamic models and data sets.¿ The project will combine existing hydrological models and data sets with groundwater flux estimates across the Laurentian Great Lakes to better represent the impacts of groundwater on the water balance of the basin. Goals are to (1) quantify groundwater fluxes through the Great Lakes; (2) develop groundwater accounting by a) identifying and assembling model simulations and historical data sets for each component of the Great Lakes hydrologic cycle, and b) incorporating groundwater flux into existing models; (3) combine surface water and groundwater flux models with lake hydrodynamic models in order to increase understanding of whether subsurface input influences lake circulation patterns.
