Summary

The data being released were part of a project funded by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). This study sought to identify the planktonic communities (cyanobacteria, eukaryotic algae) potentially contributing to eutrophication within the Grand Calumet River Area of Concern (AOC) in northern Indiana along the southern shore of Lake Michigan. In 2021, triplicate water samples were collected from five locations during three events, 4/19/21 and 4/20/21, 7/7/21, and 9/15/21. Water samples were processed and planktonic communities were determined by a DNA-based technology (algal metabarcoding). Sampling locations: 1. Columbia Avenue, Hammond, IN 2. Lake George drainage ditch, Hammond, IN 3. Indiana Harbor Canal at [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to examine the planktonic communities (cyanobacteria, eukaryotic algae) in association with eutrophication within the Grand Calumet River AOC in northern Indiana. Datasets resulting from this study were obtained from water samples collected over three different time periods, representing spring, summer, and fall in 2021 for 16S (Cyanobacteria) and 18S (eukaryotic algae) rRNA gene sequencing.
