    The Center for Snow and Avalanche Studies' Colorado Dust-on-Snow (CODOS) program, in Silverton, Colorado performs dust-on-snow monitoring throughout the Colorado mountains. Through this program the Center provides timely analyses and forecasts of dust effects to the Colorado River water management community and other interested stakeholders. The information provided through the program benefits the Lower Colorado Region by increasing the knowledge of the natural system, with the potential to improve runoff forecasts, and thereby improving operations of the Region's facilities. The primary CODOS deliverable is a series of operational dust-on-snow condition updates, alerts, and emails tailored to operations, which will be available for Reclamation and internal re-distribution. Research reports and products from other dust-on-snow research teams will also be available for use by Reclamation. Archived CODOS products, including previous year updates, and other data and analyses are also available for downloading at the CODOS program website located at http://www.snowstudies.org/CODOS.

    The purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies while leveraging the Federal investment in environmental enhancement and protection, in conjunction with agricultural production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (such as market-based systems) into NRCS technical manuals, guides, and references or to the private sector. CIG does not fund research projects. It is a vehicle to stimulate the development and adoption of conservation approaches or technologies that have been studied sufficiently to indicate a likelihood of success, and to be candidates for eventual technology transfer or institutionalization. CIG funds projects targeting innovative on-the-ground conservation, including pilot projects and field demonstrations.

nsf.gov - Funding - Dimensions of Biodiversity - US National Science Foundation (NSF) - 0 views

  •  
    This campaign seeks to characterize biodiversity on Earth by using integrative, innovative approaches to fill the most substantial gaps in our understanding of the diversity of life on Earth. It takes a broad view of biodiversity, and currently focuses on the integration of genetic, taxonomic/phylogenetic, and functional dimensions of biodiversity. Successful proposals should integrate these three dimensions to understand interactions and feedbacks among them. While this focus complements several core NSF programs, it differs by requiring that multiple dimensions of biodiversity be addressed simultaneously, in innovative or novel ways, to understand their synergistic roles in critical ecological and evolutionary processes.
