Improved Harmful Algal Blooms Prediction with Hybrid Models
Active
Engineer Research and Development Center
The Engineer Research and Development Center is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "Improved Harmful Algal Blooms Prediction with Hybrid Models". This grant aims to develop and test a hybrid modeling system that combines watershed, hydrodynamic, and machine learning models to accurately predict harmful algal blooms (HABs) in USACE reservoirs. The goal is to improve the spatial and temporal resolution of HAB predictions and diagnose the causes of HABs in managed reservoirs. The products of this project will include a hybrid modeling system for accurate HAB predictions, identification of HAB drivers, and documentation and training for deployment at additional USACE reservoirs. This opportunity is restricted to non-federal partners of the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU). The grant has an estimated total program funding of $212,770, with an award ceiling of $142,324. The closing date for applications is September 16, 2024. For more information, contact Kisha M.

Research for Developing Strategies to Manage Invasive Aquatic Plants and Harmful Algal Blooms in Public Waters of the US
Active
Engineer Research and Development Center
The Engineer Research and Development Center is seeking a partner institution to develop strategies for managing invasive aquatic plants and harmful algal blooms in public waters of the US. These freshwater ecosystems provide direct and indirect contributions to human well-being, impacting our survival, quality of life, and national security. The establishment and spread of aquatic invasive plants and harmful algal blooms pose a threat to ecosystem services, including drinking water supplies, food and fiber production, wildlife habitat, flood control, navigation, and economic benefits. The USACE ERDC is looking for a partner to identify opportunities for the development and evaluation of multi-scale management techniques and strategies in major regional watersheds infested with plants such as hydrilla, giant salvinia, and flowering rush. The project will involve research activities to evaluate site-specific management techniques, conduct empirical research to close data gaps, and transfer results through technology transfer mechanisms. The selected academic institution will be responsible for developing a report documenting project locations and summarizing the identified management strategies.
