OpportunityTitle: Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.&#160; CESU&#8217;s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education.&#160; Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.&#160; &#160;
Description: Funding Opportunity Description The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for ecophysiological research on wetland responses to global change drivers such as sea level rise, climate change and hydrological conditions. The initial phase of this partnership is a study on bald cypress decline in Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Preserve (JELA). The CESU partner will co-develop future research with PIs at the USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (WARC). USGS WARC has multiple field, laboratory and greenhouse investigations into the response of wetlands to global change drivers that may benefit from expanded understanding of ecophysiological processes from University collaborators.
