Greetings coral-listers,
Please help spread the word about the following grant opportunity!
Request for Applications: Effects of Climate Change on Ecosystem
Services Provided by Coral Reefs and Tidal Marshes
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science
to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications for projects
that develop quantitative relationships among tidal marsh and coral
reef processes and their associated ecosystem services. EPA is
particularly interested in research that will: (1) characterize the
relationships between the ecosystem processes associated with coral
reef or marsh systems and the resultant ecosystem services they
provide; (2) characterize the effects of climate change stressors on
these ecosystem processes; and (3) provide a spatially and temporally
explicit framework for assessing how climate change stressors alter the
ecosystem services provided by these reef and marsh systems. This
framework may include methods for multi-attribute comparisons of the
effects of different stressor scenarios on ecosystem services.
Eligibility Information:
Institutions of higher education and not-for-profit institutions
located in the U.S., and Tribal, state and local governments are
eligible to apply. See full announcement (
http://es.epa.gov/ncer/rfa/2004/2004_climate_change.html) for more
details.
