OpportunityTitle: Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Colorado Plateau CESU
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESU&apos;s are partnerships that provide research, technical  assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the  Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CPCESU) Program.
Description: The US Geological Survey, Western Geographic Science Center, is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to investigate how future projected changes in weather and climate variability have and will continue to influence the extent, patterns, and characteristics of US land use and land cover. The postdoctoral researcher should link these results in order to understand how future land-use scenarios ultimately impact ecosystem carbon dynamics under a range of different conditions. The establishment of such weather and climate-land use change-ecosystem carbon linkages will contribute to USGS efforts to conduct comprehensive and integrated assessments of land-use and carbon dynamics and serve as a useful tool for decision makers to evaluate adaptation and mitigation responses to climate change.
