Opportunity Information: Apply for G26AS00054
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering funding through a cooperative agreement to a partner institution affiliated with the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The goal is to advance research on the effects of hydropower dam operations—specifically fluctuating water flows—on riparian plant communities along the Colorado River between Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Mead.
This project involves two main components:
1. Experimental research to understand how daily fluctuations in river flow caused by hydropower generation affect various riparian plant species. These experiments aim to determine which plants are advantaged or disadvantaged under these conditions.
2. Analysis and modeling using new and existing datasets, including over a decade of vegetation monitoring and regional-scale data, to explore how interactions between plant species influence their response to changing flow patterns. These interactions may obscure the effects of dam operations on plant communities.
The research will help clarify how different species respond to regulated river conditions, providing valuable insights for managing vegetation along the river corridor. Only institutions already partnered with the Colorado Plateau CESU are eligible to apply.Apply for G26AS00054
