OpportunityTitle: Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes Northern Forests 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   Great Lakes - Northern Forest Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)   Program.
Description: The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in &#191;A National synoptic evaluation of tidal saline wetland elevation change trends using Surface Elevation Table data.&#191; The research in this funding opportunity will advance the understanding of the response of tidal saline wetlands to sea level rise and the physical and biological processes that are involved using empirical data. The goal of this collaborative research is to increase our understanding of surface elevation trends across the U.S. coastline and how these trends relate to (1) geographic region, (2) geomorphic setting, (3) potential sediment supply, (4) foundation plant species, and (5) SLR. These activities strengthen USGS research on coastal wetland vulnerability, understanding tidal wetland evolution, and responds to management needs.
