CURRENT & RECENT RESEARCH GRANTS AND CONTRACTS

  • U.S. EPA "Science To Achieve Results" grant awarded.  U.S. EPA award of a three-year grant for $418,000, funding our proposal Application of Individual-based Fish Models to Regional Decision-making, under the STAR program "Developing Regional-Scale Stressor-Response Models for Use in Environmental Decision-making". This project further developed and demonstrate our stream trout IBM's usefulness as a watershed management decision-support model. We conducted a demonstration assessment of cumulative and interacting effects of stressors: increased turbidity due to timber harvest, flow modification for a hydropower project and irrigation withdrawals, and introduction of exotic fish competition. This grant also allowed us to examine uncertainties and sensitivities in assessment results. The period for this research was 2003 - 2006. Please follow this link for more details.
