The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Chesapeake Watershed CESU, under the US Geological Survey, is offering a grant for a two-year investigation on the impact of Hurricane Sandy on estuarine sediment transport and ecological function in back-barrier estuaries. The funding aims to understand how storms affect shallow estuarine areas prone to wind-wave resuspension, high turbidity, and extreme tidal currents. This opportunity seeks to fill the knowledge gap on the interaction between hurricanes and estuarine processes in the US East Coast, specifically within the Chesapeake Watershed. Closing date for applications is Feb 14, 2014.

| Description: | DISASTER RECOVERY ACT FUNDS – The US Geological Survey, Estuarine Physical Response Project, is offering a funding opportunity for a two-year effort investigating the interaction between hurricanes, estuarine sediment transport, and ecological function in back-barrier estuaries. The landfall of Hurricane Sandy impacted several estuaries on the US East Coast, and the effect on estuarine physical processes is largely unknown. Additionally, these estuaries are characterized by shallow expanses susceptible to wind-wave resuspension, high turbidity, and extreme tidal currents at the deeper inlets. The influence of storms on these aspects of estuarine processes is poorly understood. |
