The USGS is offering a research grant to study the biological controls affecting coastal marsh dynamics in response to rising sea levels. This program involves field experiments, observational studies, and model development to assess the marshes’ adaptability to environmental stressors. The grant aims to expand the existing research efforts geographically, building on established field sites. Researchers in the field of coastal ecology and environmental science are encouraged to apply. Closing date: Feb 12, 2019.

| Description: |
The USGS is engaged in ongoing research to understand the ability of coastal marshes to adapt to increases in relative sea level and other stressors. This program of research uses field experimental and observational studies, along with model development and application, to examine the ability of coastal marshes to keep pace with rising sea-levels. The current opportunity builds on a long-term effort that involves established field sites as well as an expansion of the work geographically. |
