The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this grant to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner to provide essential analytical support for paleoclimate research in the western United States. This funding opportunity aims to quantify past changes in lake-water temperature and chemistry, building upon previous and ongoing studies that show sensitive variations in species distribution in response to these parameters. The grant is for the purpose of reconstructing the natural variability of paleoclimate and its effects on landscapes and vegetation. Such detailed reconstructions are vital for developing a deeper understanding of potential future climate change impacts and for formulating effective management practices. The selected recipient will collaborate closely with USGS scientists to design specific research and sampling strategies, directly supporting Quaternary research efforts in the western U.S.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for additional analytical support to quantifying past changes in lake-water temperature and chemistry. Analyses of charcoal abundances from previous and ongoing studies in the western United States show that the species distribution varies sensitively in response to these parameters. Detailed reconstruction of the natural variability of paleoclimate and effects on landscapes and vegetation is needed to develop a better understanding of the effects of potential future climate change and to develop sound management practices. The recipient¿s will coordinate with USGS scientists to design specific research and sampling strategies in support of Quaternary research in the western U.S. by the USGS. |
