The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center is offering a funding opportunity through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes Northern Forest CESU. This grant aims to develop fisheries food web indicators of climate change in the Great Lakes region. The project requires a CESU partner to focus on field-based data collection for fish distribution, diets, and dietary markers to support spatial and seasonal comparisons. By understanding the impacts of climate change on food webs, resource managers can make informed decisions to sustain fisheries in the Great Lakes. Closing date for applications is February 15, 2013.

| Description:: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for a new research project that seeks to develop fisheries food web indicators of climate change in the Great Lakes. In support of this project, we seek a CESU partnership that will focus on the development of new field-based data to support broad-scale spatial and seasonal comparisons of fish distribution, diets, and biochemical dietary markers. Understanding the mechanisms that shape food webs that support important fisheries will better enable resource managers in the Great Lakes to adaptively respond to uncertainties of climate change effects on fisheries production. |
