USNPS launches Wright fellowships on climate change research
Submitted by admin on Thu, 02/18/2010 - 10:58
The US National Park Service has created a George Melendez Wright
Climate Change Fellowship "to support new and innovative research on
climate change impacts to protected areas and to increase the use of
scientific knowledge toward resource management." Awards will be made
in the range of $5,000 to $20,000 per fellowship for research to be
undertaken in calendar year 2010.
Projects may consist of exploratory research that could lead to a
larger project funded by other sources but must result in tangible
outcomes that are aimed at informing resource decisions. Applications
are welcomed for proposed research in any area relevant to the
natural and cultural resources of units of the National Park System.
Examples include projects addressing vulnerability and risk
assessment; adaptation strategies; public perceptions and values; and
impacts to cultural landscapes and ethnographic resources.
