The joint USDA-NASA interagency research announcement for Land
Cover/Land Use Change (LCLUC) is out. This research opportunity
addresses the Land Use/Land Cover Change (LULCC) element of the U.S.
Climate Change Science Program and is the the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) Cooperative State Research, Education and
Extension Service (CSREES) contribution to the U.S. Climate Change
Research Initiative.
Both NASA LCLUC and CSREES are interested in studies on land cover and
land use that are coupled to climate variability and global change and
are likely to affect the resources and services that agriculture,
forest, and rangelands provide to society and the natural environment.
Within the announcement is a statement saying "Of particular interest
are studies of environmental and human impacts related to LULCC in the
Arctic region." From the USDA/CSREES standpoint, this is USDA's
contribution to SEARCH for this year.
The solicitation does not call for proposals on LULCC impacts on carbon
cycles except for studies that link carbon and water cycles with
emphasis on LULCC. The solicitation does not call for proposals on LULCC
impacts on water cycles except for studies on freshwater resources and
water quality in non-arid regions of the world undergoing significant
changes in land exploitation.
Dr. Nancy Cavallaro (ncavallaro [at] csrees.usda.gov) is the USDA/CSREES
point of contact for this competition. A required notice of intent is
due on 28 April 2005 and the full proposals are due on 1 August 2005.
