Geological Survey

Description

US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to analyze and report methane uptake and emissions from different ecosystem and/or wetland types in Alaska, and how the emissions are related to various factors such as net primary production or climate change. The research will rely on up-to-date wetland map for all boreal forest and tundra ecosystems in Alaska, and process-based modeling to produce the estimates. The estimation and analysis should be linked to DOS-TEM, the primary model being used to estimate ecosystem carbon balance and flux. Deliverables expected of this study include: 1) a chapter in an overall assessment report for Alaska, 2) a separate journal paper, and 3) major data products to be made available to the public via a web-based data distribution tool.
