The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystems Science (Fort Lauderdale, FL) and Southeast Ecological Science Center (Gainesville, FL) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner with the capability to conduct research on ecological topics related to providing a scientifically based assessment of ecosystem response of Greater Everglades restoration alternatives to emerging challenges of climate change, sea level rise, and altered salinities on estuarine and freshwater wetland ecosystem. for assessing: Climate Change, Sea Level Rise and Salinity Dynamics in the Greater Everglades. The USGS conducts research in support of Greater Everglades restoration efforts throughout South Florida, in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as well as State, Tribal and local partners. Research conducted by USGS scientists and their research partners advances the understanding of the Greater Everglades restoration and the potential influence of climate change, sea level rise and altered salinity on ecosystem restoration. USGS’s research provides valuable information which contributes to decision-making during the restoration effort.
