The US Geological Survey offers a grant to a CESU Partner for research on climate-driven ecological transformation in the Arctic. This funding aims to identify and synthesize case studies to understand adaptation responses to the significant impacts of warming on ecosystems. Research will focus on analyzing ecological and social interactions, summarizing lessons learned, and identifying effective adaptation strategies. The grant supports the identification of regional case studies in the Alaskan Arctic, comparing them to other regions like the Great Plains. Deadline for application is April 27, 2020.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for research to identify and synthesize case studies related to adaptation responses to climate-driven ecological transformation. As the climate continues to warm, ecosystems are being altered in profound ways with significant impacts to local communities¿ livelihoods. This is particularly true in the Arctic, where climate and ecological changes are occurring at a rate faster than global averages. A range of adaptation actions are already underway, yet local managers face challenges when attempting to address climate impacts due to a lack of robust analysis of effective responses. Research is urgently needed to synthesize how ecological and social systems interact; summarize lessons learned; and identify robust adaptation strategies that can respond to projected ecological changes. This funding opportunity will go to support the identification of regional case studies in the Alaskan Arctic, and for subsequent comparison to other regional case studies (i.e., in the Great Plains) in order to identify scientifically robust commonalities. |
