The student will be funded to collect field data and develop models to understand and predict cyanotoxin production by cyanobacteria in rivers in northern California (the\u00a0Eel, Russian, and Klamath river basins).\u00a0The student will work with an interdisciplinary group of stakeholders in partnership with local non-profits as well as state and tribal agencies.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Blaszczak Lab studies the transport and transformation of nutrients, carbon, and contaminants through watersheds and the streams that drain them. We use a combination of field, laboratory, and modeling approaches to understand controls on water quality, ecosystem function, and greenhouse gas emissions from aquatic ecosystems draining human-dominated landscapes.
