Description

The U.S. Geological Survey is offering a cooperative agreement to an eligible participating partner of the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The recipient will analyze, synthesize, and interpret stream temperature monitoring data from the Lake Tahoe Basin, using reproducible methods to evaluate long-term trends, identify ecological thresholds, and support adaptive management. Work will be conducted with interagency partners and focus on long-term data collected and curated by the U.S. Forest Service’s Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, supporting modernization of its 2016 Land Management Plan’s water quality and stream temperature monitoring. One award is expected, with a four-year project period and estimated funding of $350,000.
