The National Wetlands Research Center (NWRC) of the USGS is offering a funding opportunity through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Chesapeake Watershed CESU, for research focused on adapting remote sensing methods to map and monitor coastal wetland resources of the Atlantic seaboard. This grant aims to address the impacts of Hurricane Sandy and advance remote sensing techniques for detecting wetland deterioration. While the research is region-specific, the technological advancements developed will have broader implications for global coastal resource monitoring. Deadline for application is July 26, 2013.

Additional Information
| Agency Name:: | Geological Survey |
| Description:: | The National Wetlands Research Center (NWRC) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity for research that adapts remote sensing methods and procedures established in north-central Gulf of Mexico (GOM) coastal wetlands to mapping and monitoring coastal wetland resources of the Atlantic seaboard, particularly but not limited to Hurricane Sandy direct and long-term impacts, and advance remote sensing methods to detect wetland deterioration. Although this research will focus on the Atlantic seaboard, the expected technology advances will have direct implications to global remote sensing of coastal resources. |
