The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in improving the invasive species habitat tool (INHABIT) to deliver manager requested products to inform invasive species management. The research will be used to further develop the delivery to practitioners, ensuring they have the best available science to inform decision making [EO 14303 – Restoring Gold Standard Science (May 23, 2025)].Habitat suitability models can inform management actions including search and development of watch lists. Search activities are required to identify locations of invasive species before treatment actions can be taken. Other products such as phenology models of species can help determine timing of actions at these locations. Watch lists can inform early detection activities at local, regional, and national scales. Actions taken before a species has become well-established, facilitated by early detection, can mitigate impacts from invasive species at a lower cost and lead to potential eradication compared to longer established invasive species. INHABIT provides information to inform development of these lists for management areas across the United States. We can continue to improve both the development of these lists and the delivery of the information. INHABIT conducts virtual roundtables with end users from federal, state, and other organizations dealing with invasive species to obtain input on products. Implementing requested additions and changes produces a webtool used by practitioners from these agencies and organizations to inform management actions against inv...

The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on the ecology of bison in the Western USA, which is aligned with EO 14303 – Restoring Gold Standard Science (May 23, 2025) Studies will be comprised of data-driven modeling, field-based data collection, and a combination of both field based and analytical modeling of accelerometer data from GPS collars on bison across 3 National Park units, and of field data collection to ensure no damage is occurring to park resources.The aim is to fill data gaps with collaborative research conducted jointly by USGS and University partners, capitalizing on the unique skillset and talents provided by modelers and data analysts who have experience modeling with extreme large datasets, such as accelerometer data, as well as conduct research to assure that bison in the Great Sand Dunes (GRSA) ecosystem are not causing damage to park resources.This funding opportunity is to conduct research on resource selection and ecology of free-ranging bison across the western USA. Specific research will conduct modeling of data collected over 2 years in 3 wild bison populations, that span the Rocky Mountain region and Great Plains ecosystems.The goal of this research is to increase understanding of bison ecology, and to relate this information to public land managers to protect natural resource assets that belong to the American people, to improve management of bison on the landscape, and to improve management of habitat. Scientific analysis will be performed by a tight collaboration of USGS and University scientists.

The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research focused on developing the next generation of authoritative, semantically enriched GeoAI-enabled data infrastructures for sharing of hydrology and elevation data and knowledge.

The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research collecting and analyzing environmental DNA (eDNA) samples to evaluate the efficacy of detecting small populations of Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB; Oryctes rhinoceros) in the Hawaiian Islands. The research will involve sampling environmental DNA from the trunks of palm trees, providing a rigorous test of an emerging technology. The CESU partner is expected to co-develop a sampling design and site selection in collaboration with USGS scientists, with the aim of evaluating the probability of detection via eDNA in locations where CRB populations are small, such as the limit of the known range. This study may also assess how detection probability is affected by distance from a pheromone lure, by sampling eDNA from trunks of palm trees at a variety of distances from a lure-based trap. The CESU partner is expected to conduct field sampling and subsequently run laboratory assays, including technical replicates, to test for presence of the focal species" DNA. This work is being developed to inform the design of monitoring programs, including Department of War (DoW) biosecurity programs and port monitoring programs. The CESU partner will collaborate with USGS scientists as the data are analyzed and interpreted. The CESU partner may collaborate on work related to biosecurity and biosurveillance, as determined by available funding and interest.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner for research focused on advancing GeoAI-enabled automated landform mapping, expansion of the Landform Reference Ontology using knowledge graphs, and improving Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) summit feature positional accuracy using lidar-derived elevation datasets.
