The US Geological Survey is offering this cooperative agreement to a CESU partner to advance climate model downscaling research. This grant aims to enhance the utility of regional climate models, focusing on risk-relevant climate change information impacting human health and ecosystems in the US Caribbean and Southeast US. The selected recipient will engage decision-makers in these regions to identify useful climate metrics for adaptation strategies. Key activities include producing dynamically downscaled climate data to develop stakeholder-driven climate diagnostics and investigating uncertainty by comparing various downscaled climate products. This initiative will provide crucial insights for climate resilience and decision-making in vulnerable coastal and island communities.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to leverage expertise with climate model downscaling. This opportunity will focus on improving the utility of regional climate models with an emphasis on risk-relevant climate change information for impacts on human health and ecosystems within the US Caribbean and Southeast US. The recipient will engage decisionmakers in the Southeast US and Caribbean who work on ecology and human health to elicit define useful climate metrics to assist with climate adaptation. The recipient will produce dynamically downscaled climate data to create stakeholder driven climate diagnostics. The team will also investigate sources of uncertainty by comparing climate projections across different downscaled climate products |
