The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity for partners affiliated with the North Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) to conduct research on snowpack properties and avalanche behavior in a changing climate. The project aims to enhance understanding of how snowpack characteristics and avalanche frequency may evolve over time and space, particularly in relation to the transition from cold and dry to warm and wet conditions, which poses increasing risks to communities. This funding opportunity, with an award ceiling of $130,000 and no matching requirement, is open to eligible CESU partners, and applications must be submitted electronically by 5:00 p.m. ET on March 21, 2024. For further inquiries, interested parties can contact Faith Graves at fgraves@usgs.gov.
