USGS-Funded Projects

USGS From 2010-2025, CES (now ECOS) developed content and programs by in close collaboration with the USGS South Florida Regional Science Advisor, as well as other partners and steering committees made up of local, regional, and national experts from a diverse group of disciplines. The success and dynamic outcomes of this research, technical meetings and reports could not have been possible without the generous support and partnership of the USGS. Together CES and our partners built an understanding of the importance of sound science and collaboration to effectively prepare for the impacts of climate change and sea level rise on South Florida’s natural ecosystems. Through the planning and implementation of these projects, CES & USGS developed an expansive network of supporters and partners that unified scientists, resource managers, educators and decision makers. 

CES worked closely with the USGS to coordinate the following series of technical meetings, webinars and public outreach. Final reports from events denoted with an * are available upon request.
