    Description

    The U.S. Geological Survey is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity for a partner affiliated with the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) to conduct research on the hydrodynamics of Bear River Bay outflow to Gilbert Bay of the Great Salt Lake. The selected partner will be responsible for developing a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model that incorporates the Navier-Stokes Equation and a salt transport equation, as well as creating physics-informed data-driven models to estimate flow conditions based on USGS data. This research is critical for understanding the ecological dynamics of the Great Salt Lake and its surrounding ecosystems. Interested applicants must be participating partners of the Great Basin CESU Program, with funding available up to $277,500, and applications are due by January 13, 2025.
