Title of Project: Riverine Water Quality Modeling for
Ecosystem Services
Brief Description of Research EPA's Office of Research and
Project: Development is conducting
multidisciplinary, integrated research
to make critical gains in our
understanding of complex environmental
problems to aid environmental
decision-makers. ORD's Ecological
Services Research Program (ESRP) is
focusing on the quantification of
ecosystem services thru the integration
of the airshed, landscapes, and water
quality with an array of ecosystem
metrics and endpoints. Environmental
stressors are multi-scalar and include
cropping and intensive animal
production practices but also
atmospheric deposition and
urbanization. The successful candidate
serves as a mathematical modeler within
a team of interdisciplinary scientists
and modelers to interface water quality
models with ecosystem services across
large spatial scales. Particular
emphasis will be on modeling how rivers
and streams of the Midwest mediate the
delivery of nutrients, sediment, and
pesticides from agricultural landscapes
to downstream receiving waters, and the
ecosystem services that accrue from
these processes. The primary scientific
objectives are to develop, calibrate,
apply, and verify multi-media ecosystem
models to characterize the sources,
fluxes, in-transit transformations, and
disposition of nutrients, sediments,
and pesticides within a
stressor-response framework. Resulting
models must spatially integrate
stressors, ecological responses, and
ecosystem services and will be used to
characterize and valuate ecosystem
services inherent in the Upper
Midwestern portion of the Mississippi
River basin.
