Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU

The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on fish responses to climate change in lakes throughout the Midwestern United States and to identify factors that explain heterogeneity in how fish populations respond. The recipient will collect, manage, and analyze data on fish abundance and model relationships between fish populations and climate- relevant environmental variables. Recipient will also be responsible for developing prioritization scheme for high priority species and generating synthesis products that will help to inform climate adaptation responses at multiple scales.

This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESU¿s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Great Lakes Northern Forests Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.
