Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Desert Southwest CESU: The US Geological Survey, National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC), is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to support the project titled Landscape Sensitivity to Ecological Drought: The Knowns, Needs, and Solutions for the Real World .

This funding opportunity is to synthesize multi-year drought impacts, which are exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change, to ecosystems, biota, and ecological services with close association to human health or well-being. This work will contribute to a synthesis of ecological drought risks, strategies for increasing the ability of natural and human systems to thrive in the face of climate change-driven drought, and a tangible set of research priorities to support future decisions about drought management.
