The US Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER), is pleased to announced its interest in receiving applications for terrestrial ecosystem science that will improve the understanding of the role of terrestrial ecosystems in climate forcing related to a changing climate.
BER's Terrestrial Ecosystem Science (TES) program is the result of the consolidation of its former Terrestrial Carbon Processes (TCP) program and Program in Ecological Research (PER). The TES program will consider applications on measurements, experiments, modeling and synthesis that provide improved quantitative and predictive understanding of the terrestrial ecosystem that can affect atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration changes and thereby affect the anthropogenic gas forcing of climate. The emphasis of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to understand the impacts of, and feedbacks from a changing climate on non-managed terrestrial ecosystems. Authors should pose their research applications in the context of representing terrestrial ecosystem processes in earth system models. Pre Applications are required and due June 14, 2011; following review and response, Full Applications are due September 12, 2011. Applications should carefully follow FOA guidance specified in the announcement. Further information can be found within FOA number: DE-FOA-0000536 (http://science.doe.gov/grants/pdf/SC-FOA-0000536.pdf). Please feel free to contact me with further questions not specified in the FOA. Dan Stover __________________________________________ Daniel B.
