Food webs in the 21st century: exploration of new enabling technologies to understand and predict changes in aquatic food webs and impacts of ecosystems
- Explore application of a new enabling technology to aquatic food web dynamics
- Assess whether organisms within trophic levels have unique chemical/nutrient compositions
Genomic resources in lake sturgeon
- Analyze lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens DNA sequence data for genetic markers
Evaluating environmental DNA detection alongside standard fish sampling in Great Lakes coastal wetland monitoring
- Develop and apply eDNA sampling methods for detecting fish species and measuring eDNA concentration in these large, complex habitats
- Compare results between fish capture methods and eDNA methods
Ecological genetics of Phragmites australis invasion in southern Lake Michigan coastal habitats
- Investigate the genetics of populations of Phragmites australis
(common reed) throughout the Lake Michigan coast of Illinois and Indiana
Pilot field observations of Lake Michigan atmospheric boundary layers
- Test the ability of a mobile atmospheric sounding system, and best deployment methods, to observe marine boundary layer (MBL) structure and evolution across Lake Michigan
- Compare observations from this sounding system to nearby standard NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) sounding data in the Great Lakes region
- Conduct initial tests of theories by Workoff (2010) on cross-lake changes in marine boundary layer vertical stability and wind structure
- Use pilot data gathered during these field tests to develop a more complete observational field study of interactions between Lake Michigan marine boundary layers and deep convective storm systems
