The US Geological Survey, John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis, is offering a research grant to study local-scale ecosystem resilience in coral reefs facing global-scale ocean change. The grant aims to analyze data from healthy, degraded, and long-term monitored coral reefs to identify factors contributing to reef oases and conditions supporting ecosystem recovery. Tasks include data acquisition, analysis using statistical models, literature review, and manuscript preparation. Applicants can contribute to understanding coral reef preservation and restoration. Closing date for applications: Feb 12, 2016.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey, John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis, is offering a funding opportunity to address local-scale ecosystem resilience in coral reefs to global-scale ocean change. Existing data sets from healthy coral reefs, degraded coral reefs, and reefs with long-term data sets will be used to ask an what combination of species, species traits, ecological properties, and physical conditions are associated with reef oases, what conditions favor broad scale ecosystem recovery of reefs that are oases. Specific tasks include acquiring, evaluating, and publishing biological, physical, chemical and geographical data from USGS and other sources, developing an analytical framework supported by multivariate statistics, structural equation models, and a generalized mixed-effects model, performing literature searches, and preparing manuscripts. |
