Working Groups
Consortium Principal Investigators lead Working Groups on a variety of global change topics that draw on their scientific strengths and and the needs of resource management communities in the Southeast. The Working Groups bring together multi-disciplinary teams of academics, USGS staff, Tribal Nations, representatives from state agencies, other stakeholders, and students to address regionally-relevant emerging issues and to develop syntheses of topics to inform science needs and improve co-production.
