The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, North and West Alaska CESU is offering a grant to fund research on quantifying the regional effects of climate change on glacier runoff in the Gulf of Alaska. The research aims to map present and future effects of glacier runoff changes on Gulf of Alaska ecosystems. The project will develop a conceptual system model to provide decision support tools for resource conservation efforts, focusing on areas sensitive to glacier volume loss and increased freshwater discharge. Closing date: Jul 11, 2011.

Additional Information
| Agency Name:: | Geological Survey |
| Description:: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity for research to quantify the regional effects of climate changes on the timing, quantity and distribution of glacier runoff to the Gulf of Alaska. The research will provide a framework for mapping present and projecting future effects of changes in glacier runoff on Gulf of Alaska ecosystems. The project will be structured around a detailed conceptual system model that will provide managers with a wide range of decision support tools to inform resource conservation efforts. In particular, will identify key areas that are particularly sensitive to future changes in glacier volume loss and increased freshwater discharge. |
