Grant Description

The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research Ice2O, to integrate observations from multiple data sets within different disciplines to quantitatively describe glacier-forced change in the Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest (PCTR) hydrologic cycle. Rapid mass loss from glaciers constitutes a primary driver for regional hydrologic change. In the PCTR, freshwater fluxes are a key link between physical and ecological processes. This project will provide tools to enhance science-based management of the PCTR ecosystem. These results are essential to a diverse range of science and management applications that reach far beyond glacier mass balance, including water resources, ocean circulation and stratification, fisheries management, tourism, flood forecasting and hydropower.
