Cooperative Agreement for Affiliated Partner with the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC) seeks to provide financial assistance to help build a program focusing on reclamation sciences to support energy development, critical minerals, and streamlining regulation. This program should identify opportunities to improve outcomes and efficiency of reclamation through (1) surveys of reclamation outcomes, analysis of existing experiments, and literature synthesis; (2) developing tools and maps to support reclamation; and (3) communicating new insights to stakeholders, including industry partners.
