Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Colorado Plateau CESU: The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity for research to synthesize the state of scientific knowledge on transformational drought, and to pursue methods for applying scientific synthesis research to natural resource management. As the climate continues to warm, drought is increasingly transforming ecosystems in profound ways with significant impacts to local communities. Although research has begun into the field of transformational drought, common themes and key research questions have yet to be identified. In addition, managers lack the products necessary to apply these findings to their decision making. A national-scale synthesis of the state of the science is required to identify the most promising areas of research and applications to management. In addition, regional syntheses and case studies should be identified to support a national synthesis and to identify important commonalities and differences. This funding opportunity will go to support a national synthesis of the state of the science of transformational drought, as well as regional case studies and syntheses.
