This US Geological Survey grant is for a CESU partner to conduct research analyzing methane uptake and emissions across diverse ecosystem and wetland types in Alaska. The study will investigate how these emissions correlate with factors such as net primary production and climate change. It will utilize current wetland maps for Alaska’s boreal forest and tundra, employing process-based modeling. All estimations and analyses must be linked to DOS-TEM, the primary model for ecosystem carbon balance and flux. Key deliverables include a chapter for an overarching Alaska assessment report, a separate journal publication, and major data products made publicly available, ensuring broad access to the findings.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to analyze and report methane uptake and emissions from different ecosystem and/or wetland types in Alaska, and how the emissions are related to various factors such as net primary production or climate change. The research will rely on up-to-date wetland map for all boreal forest and tundra ecosystems in Alaska, and process-based modeling to produce the estimates. The estimation and analysis should be linked to DOS-TEM, the primary model being used to estimate ecosystem carbon balance and flux. Deliverables expected of this study include: 1) a chapter in an overall assessment report for Alaska, 2) a separate journal paper, and 3) major data products to be made available to the public via a web-based data distribution tool. |
