Grant Description

DISASTER RECOVERY ACT FUNDS: The US Geological Survey, Estuarine Physical Response Project, is offering a funding opportunity for a two-year effort investigating the interaction between hurricanes, estuarine sediment transport, and ecological function in back-barrier estuaries. The landfall of Hurricane Sandy impacted several estuaries on the US East Coast, and the effect on estuarine physical processes is largely unknown. Additionally, these estuaries are characterized by high nutrient loading, extensive seagrass meadows, and varying levels of eutrophication. The influence of storms on these aspects of estuarine processes is also poorly understood.
