This grant from the US Geological Survey aims to fund a CESU partner to lead a SNAPP working group in synthesizing the effects of multi-year drought exacerbated by climate change on ecosystems and human well-being. The focus is on identifying ecological drought risks, strategies to enhance resilience, and research priorities for effective drought management. The working group, along with two post-doctoral researchers at NCEAS, will collaborate on analyzing and prioritizing information for future decision-making. Application deadline is July 8, 2016.

Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
Description: | The US Geological survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to convene a SNAPP (Science for Nature and People Partnership) working group to synthesize the current understanding of multi-year drought impacts, exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change, to ecosystems, biota, and ecological services with close association to human health or well-being. The SNAPP working group is in the process of synthesizing ecological drought risks, on-the-ground strategies for increasing the ability of natural and human systems to thrive in the face of climate change-driven drought, and a tangible set of research priorities to support future decisions about drought management. Along with the working group and two post-doctoral researchers based at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), are pursuing four main strategies for synthesizing information: |
