This grant, offered by the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Climate Adaptation Science Center (USGS NCASC), is for the purpose of soliciting research to develop critical agendas in two key social science areas. Its primary goal is to identify high-priority research topics concerning ecosystem services—the benefits people derive from nature—and the social and economic value of information. As climate change continues to alter ecosystem services, this research aims to equip decision-makers with the understanding needed for adaptation options and to inform the natural, social, and economic outcomes of their choices. The work will specifically outline key research needs for both ecosystem service understanding and the valuation of information to effectively support the CASC mission.

| Description: | U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Climate Adaptation Science Center (NCASC) solicits research to recommend research agendas for two social science areas critical to the CASC mission; 1) ecosystem service research and 2) social and economic value of information research. Climate change is already altering ecosystem services, or the benefits people receive from nature, and decision makers need to understand both how these changes will affect adaptation options and when ecosystem service management may provide adaptation options. If applied, ecosystem service research, and all other research done by the CASCs will help to inform the natural, social and economic outcomes of decisions made by stakeholder agencies
Research objectives include: 1) Identify high priority research topics related to ecosystem services; 2) Identify high priority research topics related to social and economic value of information |
