Description
The Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service (PSW) is seeking proposals as part of the Tahoe Science Program funded by the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act (SNPLMA). The purpose of the Tahoe Science Program is to provide high quality science to effectively meet environmental goals in the Tahoe Basin. PSW is requesting that interested researchers submit proposals for funding within this year's five science theme areas: 1) Effects of Wildfire and Fuel Treatments, 2) Water Quality, 3) Air Quality, 4) Watershed Restoration, and 5) Climate Change. Each proposal must be directed toward a particular subtheme within each of the themes:
1a) Evaluating alternatives for fuel treatments
1b) Impacts of wildfire
2a) Effectiveness of urban and roadway BMPs in removing fine sediment from stormwater runoff
2b) Sources, characterization and transport of fine particles from urban land uses
2c) Ability of large areas with natural vegetation to treat surface runoff
3a) Gaseous pollutants
3b) Particle deposition
4a) Stream channel and meadow restoration
4b) Wildlife and habitat restoration
4c) Invasive species
5a) Managing for climate change
Research projects funded through this program need to help answer the most pressing management questions facing land managers and regulatory agencies in the Lake Tahoe basin and to promote more effective environmental improvement projects. Accordingly, proposals should include provisions to ensure that relevant stakeholders in the Lake Tahoe basin will be engaged early and throughout the project, and proponents are advised to explain how their results could be used to evaluate environmental improvement efforts in the basin.
