• Measure the levels of total mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in the surface waters of wetlands across the Grand Calumet region of northwestern Indiana
• Measure the concentrations of total and MeHg in wetland sediments – the main repositories for legacy Hg contamination in these wetlands
• Measure the concentrations of total and MeHg in porewaters of wetland sediments – the main route for MeHg transport from the sediments to the overlying waters – in the region
• Assess the MeHg levels in fish from wetlands with permanent open water

• Document the locations and diets of the invasive, PontoCaspian colonial hydroid, Cordylophora caspia in southern Lake Michigan
• Assess the feeding habits of C. caspia
• Determine whether the distribution of C. caspia is related to the presence of Dreissena polymorpha or D. bugensis as substrates
