OpportunityTitle: Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Rocky Mountain CESu
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.  CESU&#191;s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education.  Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Rocky Mountains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.
Description: The US Geological Survey, Fort Collins Science Center is offering a funding opportunity is to a CESU partner to conduct research on the process-based mechanisms that underlie the effects of global change on essential alpine and subalpine ecosystem processes. Specific place-based and survey studies will explore microbial, algal, and biogeochemical responses to direct warming, retreating cryosphere (glaciers, rock glaciers, and seasonal snow), and atmospheric nitrogen deposition. Long-term watershed monitoring records of precipitation, precipitation the stream/lake chemistry, meteorology, and hydrology are necessary to this research and are to be supported.
