Opportunity Information: Apply for G19AS00074
The Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), through its Alaska Science Center, announced a discretionary research funding opportunity under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, specifically associated with the Rocky Mountain CESU. The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G19AS00074) was issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the awardee should expect substantial involvement and collaboration with USGS staff during the life of the project rather than operating entirely independently as in a standard grant.
The purpose of the project is focused on glacier and snow research in Alaska, with an emphasis on turning geophysical field data into scientifically useful measures of snow accumulation and glacier mass balance. The selected CESU partner would be responsible for processing and interpreting ground penetrating radar (GPR) data to quantify snow accumulation patterns and evaluate glacier mass balance. In addition to producing these core measurements, the project also calls for an assessment of glacier sensitivity to changes in climate forcing, meaning the work should connect observed or inferred changes in snow and ice to climatic drivers and variability. In practice, this kind of scope often includes tasks such as radar data processing and calibration, interpretation of subsurface reflectors related to snow and firn layers, conversion of radar travel times to depth using appropriate velocity models, integration with field measurements where available, and analysis that links mass balance changes to temperature and precipitation patterns or other relevant climate indicators.
The funding instrument is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is listed under CFDA number 15.808. Eligibility is limited to CESU partners (the announcement lists eligible applicants broadly as "Others," with clarification in the full notice indicating that applicants must be part of the CESU network). The program anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $225,000. The opportunity was created on July 29, 2019, with an original application closing date of August 16, 2019, indicating a relatively short proposal window.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted, collaborative research effort supporting USGS priorities in cryospheric science: extracting reliable snow accumulation and glacier mass balance information from GPR datasets and using those results to evaluate how sensitive glaciers are to climate-related forcing. The expected outcome would be improved interpretation of radar-derived snow and ice properties and a clearer scientific basis for understanding how Alaska glaciers may respond under changing climatic conditions.Apply for G19AS00074
