The $450,000 Long-Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB) grant will support the enhancement and continuation of field monitoring and data sharing at two freshwater drinking water supply reservoirs in Roanoke. This grant will allow the researchers to create a cutting-edge, ecological monitoring program with real-time data access and publishing. The LTREB program is one of the National Science Foundation’s premier environmental science programs to support long-term monitoring at select exemplar terrestrial, coastal, and freshwater ecosystems across the U.S
