The University of Colorado Boulder, through its Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), has been awarded a $1,392,437 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to continue hosting the North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (NC CASC) from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2029. The NC CASC is part of the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (NCASC) program, CFDA #15.820. The award will enable the University of...
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Cooperative Agreement award, funded under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808), provides $225,000 to Colorado State University (CSU) to develop a suite of wildlife analysis models. The goal is to assess how species like ungulates, greater sage-grouse, songbirds, and white-tailed ptarmigan have responded to changes in vegetation, energy development, wildfire, disease, and climate across grassland, shrubland, and alpine ecosystems. The...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $250,000 Cooperative Agreement to Colorado State University under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) to develop spatial-statistical models and decision support tools that can help managers understand changes in sagebrush vegetation across the western U.S. Over the 5-year performance period from September 2024 to September 2029, the project will: 1) Evaluate drivers and ecological conditions associated with invasions of annual...
The University of Colorado received a $888,273 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program. The project will develop and deliver detailed quantitative projections of 21st century water balance, water availability, and ecological drought metrics across the contiguous United States. This will be accomplished through ecosystem water balance modeling with a daily time step and multiple soil...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (NCASC) Program (CFDA 15.820), will support the development of simulation models to study how migratory bird and insect species in the South-Central U.S. may be affected by projected climate changes. The University of Oklahoma, the prime awardee, will compile data on the migratory and wintering characteristics of select species, build simulation...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under CFDA 15.808 - USGS Research and Data Collection provides $144,395.76 in funding to Colorado State University (CSU) to improve species distribution modeling methods and analyses, with a focus on invasive plant species. The project aims to enhance existing code related to data production pipelines and decision support frameworks, as well as aid in the development of species distribution modeling software. The goal is...
This $132,621 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under CFDA Program 15.808 - USGS Research and Data Collection supports a research project to quantify and project the effects of climate change on the summer behavior and distribution of the Porcupine caribou herd in Arctic Alaska. The project will leverage field data collected through a research collaboration between the USGS, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Yukon Government, and...
This $149,076.50 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) aims to track and understand range shifts in southwestern bird species populations in response to climate change. Working with partners including the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, and Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the project will utilize novel statistical models and broad extent bird datasets, including...
The Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey awarded a $256,752 Cooperative Agreement to the Regents of the University of Colorado through the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program. The funding supports a 2-year project titled "Operationalizing the Resist-Accept-Direct Framework to Manage Wildfires and Carbon Storage in the Context of Ecological Transformations in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem." The project will work with resource...
This $344,113 Cooperative Agreement was awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program. The project, titled "Management Strategies for Mega-Disturbances: Building Climate-Resilient Rangelands Amidst Fire, Grazing, and Ecological Invasion in California," will investigate how increased fire frequency, grazing, and invasive species impact rangeland vegetation and soil health. The University of Arizona...
