Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit

The US Geological Survey, Western Ecological Research Center, is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for research to characterize burn severity and potential vegetation recovery at high spatial and temporal resolutions 2020 and 2021 Presidentially Declared wildfires in California. This information will be used to inform water and landslide hazard objectives and to develop a set of tools that aid strategies by land managers (e.g., DOI and US Forest Service) in efforts to recover desirable vegetation, decrease the impact of invasive species, and stabilize soils and other resource management to reduce risk to communities.
