Description: The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for developing research to build and test an indicator of species vulnerability to climate change that can be applied consistently across multiple species across the United States. Developing a species vulnerability indicator will help to identify the functional, taxonomic, and geographic dimensions of biodiversity critical for determining species&#8217; vulnerability to climate change and will help to inform effective management responses. This funding opportunity will test and validate climate change vulnerability indicators, and compare to previous vulnerability assessments.
