The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity for partners affiliated with the Rocky Mountains Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) to conduct research on the use of remote sensing of dissolved organic matter (DOM) for water resource management. The objective of this funding is to enhance the understanding of how remotely sensed data can improve water quality observation programs and inform regional and local water resource management decisions. This initiative is crucial for advancing scientific knowledge and supporting effective natural resource management practices. The total estimated funding for this program is $350,000, with no cost-sharing requirement, and applications are due by December 4, 2024. Interested applicants can contact Faith Graves at fgraves@usgs.gov for further information.
