The U.S. Geological Survey Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is offering a Cooperative Agreement grant to address critical environmental challenges. This grant is specifically designed to fund essential research aimed at understanding the complex biotic and abiotic factors that constrain successful land reclamation in arid landscapes. Its primary purpose is to tackle significant scientific challenges related to effectively managing surface disturbances, particularly those arising from oil and gas development and other disruptive land-use activities. Grantees will be tasked with developing robust reclamation effectiveness assessment workflows and identifying sustainable management practices that consistently promote successful, long-term reclamation, ultimately improving ecological recovery strategies in these vulnerable environments.
