Facility/Service Core

项目摘要 伊利湖淡水和人类健康中心的核心设施将提供毒素和营养 为综合研究项目提供分析服务。这些实验室位于纽约州立大学环境分校 科学与林业(毒素)和俄亥俄州立大学石头实验室(营养)。每周例行抽样 在夏季水花盛开季节，将产生200个水样(10个地点×20周)进行可溶性分析 颗粒营养素以及一整套毒素。毒素分析包括微囊藻毒素，目前 伊利湖的健康威胁，以及由于气候变化可能出现的地区性毒素 (圆柱状精浆蛋白、类毒素和BMAA)。还可以获得资金来处理所获得的目标样本 通过公民科学包船船长和美国海岸警卫队计划(见社区参与 核心)。每周例行抽样计划以外的额外抽样行程通过船只提供 通过托莱多大学伊利湖中心提供。所有营养和毒素数据都将公开 在BGSU的数据管理员进行管理后立即可用(请参阅管理核心)。

Project Summary The Facilities Core of the Lake Erie Center for Fresh Waters and Human Health will provide toxin and nutrient analytical services for the integrated research projects. These labs are located at SUNY Environmental Sciences and Forestry (toxins) and Ohio State University Stone Lab (nutrients). Routine weekly sampling during summertime bloom season will yield 200 water samples (10 sites x 20 weeks) to be analyzed for soluble and particulate nutrients as well as a full suite of toxins. Toxin analyses include both microcystins, the current health threat in Lake Erie, along with toxins that may emerge regionally due to climate change (cylindrospermopsin, anatoxin and BMAA). Funds are also available to process targeted samples obtained through the citizen science Charter Boat Captain and US Coast Guard programs (see Community Engagement Core). Additional sampling trips outside of the weekly routine sampling plan are provided through vessels made available through the University of Toledo Lake Erie Center. All nutrient and toxin data will be publicly available immediately following curation by the Data Manager at BGSU (see Administrative Core).
