Projects
Grant Number: 20070056
Funds are requested to support the continuation of measuring elevation change and water levels in the Quinnipiac River marshes in efforts to understand the rate and causes of marsh drowning (conversion to mudflat) that has been observed there.
Year Issued: 2007 | Amount: $14,294
Yale University Grant and Contract Administration
Grant Number: 20050347
To support investigation of the various stresses that may be contributing to the extensive loss of vegetation in the Quinnipiac tidal marshes and begin to gather data on the relative importance of sub-surface compaction, decompositon in causing elevation loss in this ecosystem.
Year Issued: 2005 | Amount: $12,000
Yale University Grant and Contract Administration
Grant Number: 20020633
To continue monitoring vegetation change and mudflat development in the Quinnipiac River brackish marshes, and begin to test hypothesized causes for the observed wetland loss. To complete a nitrogen and trace metal analyses and begin to assess how marsh loss has affected the load of pollutants to the river.
Year Issued: 2003 | Amount: $13,000
Yale School of Forestry/Environmental Studies
Grant Number: 20020633
To continue monitoring vegetation change and mudflat development in the Quinnipiac River tidal marshes. In addition, to conduct field and lab work to begin to test hypothesized causes for the observed wetland loss and to assess how marsh loss has affected the load of pollutants (N,trace metals) to the river.
Year Issued: 2002 | Amount: $14,500
Yale School of Forestry/Environmental Studies
Grant Number: 20010411
To support Field Research Program to document wetland loss along the Quinnipiac River Estuary and document baseline conditions and historic trends.
Year Issued: 2001 | Amount: $14,350
Yale University Grant and Contract Administration
Grant Number: 20000305
To support the project entitled Bioaccumulation of Sediment Contaminants by Benthos of the Quinnipiac River. This proposed research is an investigation of the sediment contaminant load of two sites in the Quinnipiac River and the availability of the contaminants to the benthic organisms living in them.
Year Issued: 2000 | Amount: $20,000
