The USGS Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is offering this grant to a CESU-affiliated partner for crucial bioclimatic and ecohydrological research. This grant is for informing U.S.-Mexico borderlands map classes by analyzing phenological differences among vegetative species and landcover types. The primary purpose is to support conservation planning and management within the transborder region. Specifically, the initiative seeks to measure changes in greenup and evapotranspiration using satellite images. This research will apply to hundreds of map classes along the transborder area, corresponding to Bird Conservation Region #33 in the Sonoran and Mojave deserts. It directly addresses ecosystem change monitoring from both natural and human-induced landcover alterations.
