The U.S. Geological Survey Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner. This grant is for providing research assistance to develop a comprehensive program addressing critical scientific challenges in managing surface disturbances within arid landscapes. The initiative aims to enhance reclamation success by focusing on three key areas: understanding biotic and abiotic constraints on successful restoration, improving post-reclamation monitoring protocols, and identifying effective management practices. This effort directly addresses the significant needs for ecological recovery following activities like oil and gas development, ensuring more effective restoration and long-term sustainability in vulnerable arid environments.
