Description
The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding
opportunity to a CESU Partner for research to identify
and synthesize case studies related to adaptation
responses to climate-driven ecological transformation. As
the climate continues to warm, ecosystems are being
altered in profound ways with significant impacts to
local communities¿ livelihoods. This is particularly true
in the Arctic, where climate and ecological changes are
occurring at a rate faster than global averages. A range
of adaptation actions are already underway, yet local
managers face challenges when attempting...
to address
climate impacts due to a lack of robust analysis of
effective responses. Research is urgently needed to
synthesize how ecological and social systems interact;
summarize lessons learned; and identify robust adaptation
strategies that can respond to projected ecological
changes. This funding opportunity will go to support the
identification of regional case studies in the Alaskan
Arctic, and for subsequent comparison to other regional
case studies (i.e., in the Great Plains) in order to
identify scientifically robust commonalities.
