Developing the scientific basis for adaptation: the Westwide Climate Initiative (Part 1)
Discover the history of the Westwide Climate Initiative and the toolkit project and their roles in developing science-based adaptation strategies.
Upper Salmon Watershed Vulnerability Assessment
A walk through a watershed vulnerability assessment conducted on the Sawtooth National Recreation Area as a part of a pilot effort.
Probabilistic models for decision support under climate change
Provides an example of how to bring the flood of data and information on climate change together to prioritize conservation and management, using an example of a model for Bull trout in the Boise River basin.
Introduction of Spatially Explicit Climate Scenarios for the Bull Trout
Many new tools are becoming available to provide down scaled climate data and help us make management decisions. How do these tools perform when used in an excersize to examine real-world problems? See the example of an exercise done for Bull Trout.
NetMap: Community digital watersheds and shared analysis tools
Learn about the community-based NetMap tools, and see an example of how the tools have been used to look at climate change a road concerns in the Boise, ID basin.
Climate Change and Mangement: How do we use all of this?
There is a great deal of scientific information being generated on how aquatic ecosystems may respond to climate change. How do we begin to apply this information and use it in management?
Fish population response to climate change
A summary of what projected hydrologic changes mean for four trout species, and an introduction to how fish distributions may change over the next century.
Stream Temperature & Climate Change: Observed Patterns & Key Uncertainties
Stream temperature measurements indicate that streams are warming in response to climate change. However more data are needed to accurately predict stream temperature changes for the future, and their biological implications.
Effects of Changing Flow Regimes on Stream Physical Habitat
Climate-induced changes in streamflow will alter physical stream habitats, including their timing, size, and connectivity. New technologies are developing for examining these changes.
How will climate change affect channel morphology and salmonid habitat in mountain basins?
Explore some of the hypotheses about how climate change will affect stream channel morphology, and scour regimes.
