The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a valuable funding opportunity tailored for its Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partners. This grant is specifically designed to support technical research vital for understanding wetland ecosystems in North and West Alaska. The core purpose of this funding is to facilitate the development of advanced, field-based methods. These methods are essential for accurately detecting and quantifying methane ebullition, which refers to the bubbling release of methane gas from wetland sediments. This initiative aims to significantly enhance our capabilities in measuring and monitoring greenhouse gas emissions from natural environments, providing crucial data for environmental science and conservation efforts. This grant is for this purpose of innovating field methodologies for critical environmental assessment.
