The US Geological Survey’s Southwest Biological Science Center is offering this grant to a CESU Partner for vital research into changes in vegetation greenness and water use within western U.S.A. riparian zones. This grant aims to measure timeseries data from 2000-2025 and continue monitoring shifts in native and non-native riparian plants along approximately 15 Lower Colorado River Basin rivers. Utilizing remotely-sensed measurements and satellite images, the study will investigate spatiotemporal changes in plant greenness, density, and acreage, which may be influenced by drought and anthropogenic management. A key purpose is to reveal reasons for landscape change, including monitoring restoration activities and measuring greenup and actual evapotranspiration (ETa) to understand both natural and human-induced impacts on these critical ecosystems.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey, Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC), is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for research investigating changes in vegetation greenness and water use in western U.S.A. riparian zones, which include measuring timeseries data from 2000-2025 and continued monitoring of changes to the mix of native and non-native riparian plants that make up the riparian corridors adjacent to ca. 15 Lower Colorado River Basin rivers. This funding opportunity is related to remotely-sensed measurements of riparian ecosystem changes that may occur in part due to drought, as well as anthropogenic management choices. Ongoing monitoring may reveal reasons for landscape change in these narrow corridors that may be due to wither or both natural and anthropogenic riparian changes in plant greenness, density and acreage, so this study accounts for these spatiotemporal changes in the riparian ecosystems of the Lower Colorado River Basin. Monitoring of restoration activities along these tributary streams is also a priority as USGS seeks to measure changes in greenup and actual evapotranspiration (ETa) using satellite images. |
