The U.S. Geological Survey Fort Collins Science Center is offering a grant to a CESU partner to conduct research on forest and woodland disturbance in semi-arid ecosystems of southwestern Wyoming and northwestern Colorado. The focus is on assessing drought impacts, particularly on aspen and conifer forests. Collaboration with partners like the Bureau of Land Management and Wyoming Game and Fish is key to informing regional and local decisions. Research from other Interior Department-managed ecosystems can also be incorporated. Deadline for application submission is June 20, 2014.

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Fort Collins Science Center (FORT) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to integrate research related to forest and woodland disturbance. The research will primarily support the assessment of drought impacts in semi-arid woodland ecosystems in southwestern Wyoming and northwestern Colorado. Increasing trends in mortality of aspen and conifer forests have been documented across western North America and recent mortality of these species has been observed in southwestern Wyoming. Partners, including the Bureau of Land Management and Wyoming Game and Fish remain committed to a cooperative process to help insure that the data products and results we produce will inform regional and local decisions. Research conducted in other ecosystems (managed by the Department of the Interior) using related techniques may be integrated into this project. |
