Grant Description
The Utah Water Science Center (UWSC) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity to Universities that have the ability to conduct research on water resources of Utah and surrounding states including the Great Basin and Upper Colorado River Basin. UWSC primarily conducts research and operates monitoring networks investigating ground- and surface-water resources in Utah and in adjoining ground- and surface-water basins. Current research projects and networks include (but are not limited to) Great Salt Lake geochemistry and hydrodynamics, regional ground-water assessments, ground- and surface-water quality, salinity fate and transport in Upper Colorado River Basin, geochemistry and ground-water flow in geothermal systems, Great Basin ground-water availability, numerical ground- and surface-water modeling. For more information about UWSC, refer to http://ut.water.usgs.gov/. For a successful cooperative agreement, the partner University must have complementary research interests and be able to address these and other potential research topics. The Utah Water Science Center is specifically looking for collaborative opportunities with University researchers who have access to analytical laboratories capable of analyzing water samples for environmental tracers including dissolved gases including noble gases, CFCs, stable isotopes and tritium including both fresh water and highly saline waters from terminal lakes and from ground-water brines in the Great Basin and from geothermal waters. In addition cooperative projects should include and foster student training opportunities in the hydrologic sciences.
