The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (WARC) is offering a cooperative agreement for research in radar ornithology, targeting a CESU-affiliated partner. This grant aims to determine avifauna densities and traffic rates in relation to habitat use within the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas, utilizing mobile X-band polarimetric doppler weather radar. The research will be pivotal for validating predictive weather surveillance radar models and assessing the impact of the US-Mexico border wall and associated lighting on avifauna. Furthermore, it seeks to develop spatially explicit decision support tools. These tools will address critical needs of USGS management partners for current and future habitat acquisition, mitigation, restoration, and conservation efforts focused on avifauna populations.

| Description: | The Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (WARC) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in radar ornithology. Specifically, there is a need to determine densities and traffic rates detected by mobile X-band polarimetric doppler weather radar in relation to habitat use by avifauna in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, TX. This opportunity will provide an avenue for 1) validating predictive weather surveillance radar (WSR) models, 2) determining how the US-Mexico border wall, and associated lighting, may be impacting avifauna, and 3) development of spatially explicit decision support tools that can address fundamental needs of USGS management partners for current and future habitat acquisition, mitigation, restoration, and conservations efforts targeted at avifauna. |
