Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Pacific Northwest CESU opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 09HQPA0057) is a small, targeted U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement intended to support science and technology research and development through a cooperative agreement. The work focuses on improving how climate information is accessed and analyzed for National Park Service monitoring networks in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California region, with the broader goal of strengthening climate trend analysis that feeds into ecological and fisheries-related research.
At the center of the project is a web-based climate data viewer created by the PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University. The tool was originally developed to help users extract and visualize monthly climate data for the six parks in the Klamath Network. It provides access to two complementary climate data sources: (1) direct observations from available weather stations and (2) high-resolution (800-meter) gridded climate surfaces from the PRISM spatial climate dataset. The grant proposes expanding this existing online viewer beyond the Klamath Network to include three additional National Park Service units in the San Francisco Bay Area Network: Point Reyes, Muir Woods, and Golden Gate National Recreation Area. By adding these parks, the tool would deliver clearer, park-specific insight into how key climate variables have been changing over time in this coastal Bay Area region.
The practical value of the project is that it produces detailed, accessible knowledge about trends and variability in core climate parameters for those three Bay Area parks, using both station observations and PRISM’s gridded climate products. That climate context is described as critical to a separate USGS data analysis effort that is integrating multiple monitoring datasets. Specifically, USGS is conducting an analysis that combines Vital Signs monitoring data from both the San Francisco Bay Area Network (SFAN) and the Klamath Network (KLMN) with additional data sources to better describe how different environmental drivers interact to influence salmon populations. In other words, the climate viewer expansion is meant to strengthen the climate component of a larger integrated assessment connecting climate and ecosystem monitoring to salmon-related outcomes.
Administratively, the opportunity is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) Program, which is a partnership framework designed to provide research, technical assistance, and education through collaborative agreements. Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating partners of the Pacific Northwest CESU. The funding is relatively modest, with an estimated total of $15,000 and an expectation of a single award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. The CFDA number is 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). The opportunity was posted July 16, 2009, with a closing date of July 27, 2009, and it was later archived on August 26, 2009. The listed contact for access issues is Faith Graves, Contract Specialist, at 703-648-7356.
