## Who can apply

- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESU’s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Program.

## What the grant funds

Funding Opportunity Description The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to advance physically based snow process modeling of water resources in snow dominated regions. The objective of the agreement is to advance Water Mission Area’s (WMA) physically based snow and hydrologic modeling capabilities, and specifically to advance the capability to improve representation of high-resolution climate and snow hydrology processes in mountainous environments within these models. The work will contribute to our Upper Colorado River Basin and national modeling efforts. Research Objectives U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Snow Hydrology project and Predictive Understanding of Multiscale Processes (PUMP) project of the Integrated Water Prediction (IWP) program are announcing the potential availability of funding for an agreement with the purposes of soliciting research to improve representation of regional climate (current and future conditions) and high resolution snow processes in models to allow for more accurate prediction of water resources in snow dominated regions. Research Scientists within WMA are developing multi-scale integrated modeling capabilities within the Snow Hydrology and PUMP projects. This research will advance our capabilities by expanding our snow modeling approaches for evaluating and predicting water availability for humans and aquatic ecosystems.
