Research projects funded by CWS must relate to one or more of our priority research areas:
- antibiotics in water and development of microbial resistance;
- viral pathogens and waterborne disease;
- effects of stressors with global origins (e.g., atmospheric nitrogen, mercury deposition and invasive species);
- ecosystem services and human activities in lakes and their watersheds;
- microbial biodiversity and biogeochemical processes in complex aquatic landscapes;
- watershed influences on coastal ecosystems of large lakes;
- algal toxins and water supply;
- perfluorinated organic compounds; and
- international programs investigating effects of climate, landscape, and cultural diversity on the coupling of human and ecological systems.
