The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity for members of the South Florida and Caribbean CESU. This grant is for supporting vital research aimed at Greater Everglades Ecosystem restoration planning and scenario evaluation. Specifically, the study focuses on the analysis of estuarine organisms found in sediment cores. The goal is to accurately reconstruct changes in key environmental parameters over the past 100 to 1000 years. These detailed analyses will help in establishing pre-anthropogenic conditions, which are crucial for defining realistic targets and effective performance measures for the Southern Coastal Systems within the Greater Everglades. This research directly contributes to long-term ecosystem health.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity to member of the South Florida and Caribbean CESU.
This opportunity is to support research to be performed for the Greater Everglades Ecosystem restoration planning and scenario evaluation. This study focuses on analysis of estuarine organisms in sediment cores to reconstruct changes in key environmental parameters over the last 100-1000 years. These analyses reconstruct the pre-anthropogenic conditions, which are used to establish targets and performance measures for the Southern Coastal Systems of the Greater Everglades. |
