Accomplishments

CSCOR has had numerous accomplishments to date...


CSCOR's current research projects emphasize these areas:

Ecological Forecasting  Regional Ecosystem Research Stressor Research
Ecological Forecasting   Regional Ecosystem Research   Climate Change   Land Use Impacts   Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs)   Hypoxia & Nutrient Pollution  
map Northeast Mid-Atlantic Southeast & Caribbean Gulf of Mexico Northwest West Pacific Great Lakes California Alaska
CSCOR typically supports regional-scale projects with an ecosystem focus. Funding of these projects is commensurate with the fairly large-scale, multi-disciplinary nature of the problems they address. Most projects are long in duration and are designed with a specific funding cycle and endpoint, with periodic reviews in mid-life of the project. More
