The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) South Atlantic Water Science Center is offering this grant to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner with expertise in ecological modeling. This funding opportunity is for the development of sophisticated ecological models specifically targeting the Cape Fear and Yadkin/PeeDee river basins. The primary purpose of these models is to analyze and predict how fish and benthic invertebrate populations respond to dynamic changes in stream flow and evolving land use patterns. This research will serve as a crucial tool for understanding the broader ecological effects stemming from climate change, ongoing population growth, and varied water-use practices within these vital river systems. The selected CESU partner will engage in close collaboration with USGS scientists located in both North Carolina and California throughout the project.
