US Geological Survey is offering a grant for CESU partners to conduct research on developing spatial models using RHESSys for scenario generation and integrating field-based research within the WMI initiative. The goal is to quantify watershed characteristics’ impact on forest water use and streamflow sensitivity to drought, enhance forecasting tools for western streams/forests’ response to fire, and model tree physiological responses to climate change stress. Closing date: Jul 17, 2015.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to conduct research to develop process-based spatial models as tools for both scenario generation and to integrate findings from field-based research by collaborators within the WMI initiative. Ongoing model development with RHESSys (Regional Hydro-Ecologic Simulation System) advances techniques that quantify the contributions of underlying watershed geologic characteristics to the sensitivity of both forest water use and streamflow to drought, provide better forecasting tools for understanding the response of western streams and forests to fire, and to describe and model physiological responses of tress to increasing climate change-caused stress. |
