An Integrated Approach to Precision Conservation Planning in the South Fork W...National Institute of Food and Agriculture
This document describes an integrated approach to precision conservation planning in the South Fork watershed. It involved 1) validating predictions of ephemeral gully formation, 2) comparing predictions to field observations, and 3) engaging landowners and stakeholders. Researchers worked with agricultural educators to develop curriculum on erosion and conservation practices. Outreach included educating landowners about erosion risks and control tools. The goals were to target practices to high priority sites and increase adoption of conservation practices.Primary prod
This document analyzes primary productivity in the Mandovi and Zuari estuarine ecosystems in India. It aims to study phytoplankton diversity, biomass, and the temporal and spatial variability of phytoplankton. Phytoplankton, chlorophyll, and primary productivity are important determinants of an estuary's organic productivity and overall health. The document uses data from 2002-2003 to describe the spatial and temporal variability of these factors in order to understand the processes regulating primary productivity in the estuarine ecosystem.
Watershed approach
This document discusses watershed concepts for land management. It defines a watershed as a land area that drains water to a common location like a stream or river. It notes that watersheds are naturally occurring delineations that are nested in a hierarchical structure and can be mapped. Watersheds integrate physical, chemical, and biological properties from land, air, and water through interconnected stream networks. Properly functioning watersheds sustain natural processes and provide ecosystem services like clean water, flood control, food/materials, and recreation. Examples are given showing how watershed impacts can be seen in water chemistry, temperature, and trout biomass.
Conrad_Clark_McMains_Grant_Proposal-2
Our project will study the effects of stream restoration practices, J hook and cross vane, on polluted rivers and streams in the Great Lakes Basin area of Wisconsin. Specifically, we will implement these practices on the Oconto, Peshtigo, and Menominee rivers and study their impact on fish populations like trout. The methodology involves initial studies of water pollution and fish, applying the restoration structures, further evaluation, and a final report. The goal is to better understand how these techniques affect habitats and wildlife in order to inform future conservation efforts.

You and Your Students Are the Scientists: A Sampling of Citizen-Science Oppor...Teaching the Hudson Valley
Citizen science involves non-scientific volunteers partnering with scientists to answer real-world questions through data collection and research. Success depends on having simple protocols, trained volunteers, and providing feedback and sharing results. Examples of citizen science programs discussed are Bird Sleuth, Watershed Dynamics, and World-Wide Monitoring Day. A summary of a study on amphibian road mortality described the collection of over 1,000 live and 500 dead amphibians by volunteers to identify important habitats and inform future planning. The presentation encourages different models of citizen science involvement through schools, nature centers, and community groups.Study to examine water systems on a large scale - Ball State University
Mark Pyron, a professor of biology at Ball State University, is joining an international effort to study large river systems in North America and Mongolia. The $4.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation will fund a 5-year study comparing nine rivers in the US and Mongolia to understand how river ecosystems are linked to their watersheds and how climate change could impact them. Pyron will lead a group of students to Mongolia in 2017 to collaborate with local scientists and collect data on the country's rivers, which provide a glimpse of what rivers in the US may have looked like 200 years ago before human impacts.

Foraging and growth poten/al of juvenile Chinook salmon following /dal restor...Nisqually River Council
This document summarizes a study on the foraging and growth potential of juvenile Chinook salmon following tidal restoration of the Nisqually River delta. Researchers compared restored tidal marshes to unaltered reference marshes. They examined diet composition, energy density of prey, stomach fullness, water temperatures, and calculated fish growth using a bioenergetics model. The results showed similar but more variable growth opportunities in the restored habitats. Increased sensitivity to warm air temperatures may limit growth potential there compared to the reference marshes. Overall, the findings were consistent with other estuary restoration projects.Recommended

The document advocates conducting research, adopting resilience best practices, and providing incentives to advance societal resilience.
Corredor Tranversal Bahia de Chetumal-BacalarHector hernandez arana_simposio_...
This document discusses the Bacalar lagoon as part of a larger interconnected coastal ecosystem in the Yucatan Peninsula. It describes the hydrological and biological connections between Bacalar lagoon and other coastal ecosystems like Chetumal Bay. These connections include superficial connections through water flow, underground connections through sinkholes, and biological connections through the distribution of species. The document also discusses ecosystem processes, ecological interactions, and how climatic drivers influence this coastal ecosystem. It emphasizes that these coastal ecosystems, including Bacalar lagoon, should be viewed and managed as an interlinked system.
The importance of oceans
The document discusses the importance of oceans and their influence on Earth. It describes how oceans cover over 70% of the planet's surface and hold 97% of its water. The three main points made are:
1) Oceans are a major source of water vapor in the atmosphere through evaporation and influence weather patterns and climate through the water cycle.
2) Ocean water absorbs and exchanges gases with the atmosphere, moderating global temperatures and affecting processes like the carbon cycle.
3) Oceans support a tremendous amount of biodiversity and are home to most living things on Earth.
Fish passage system!
This document describes a proposed system to assist fish migration over discharge sills. It involves installing vertical concrete structures upstream and downstream of the sill. Upstream, a stone block would be attached to rails inside the structure and winched across. Downstream, a folding metal sheet guides the block into an underground canal. Sensors detect the block's position and control stoppers to guide fish safely over the sill in either direction. The system aims to improve on older fish passage methods and facilitate longitudinal connectivity as required by European directives.
DuBowy Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology 2013
This article discusses the past, present, and future of the ecohydrology of the Mississippi River system. It describes how the river system has been radically altered by human activities like navigation, flood control projects, and watershed modifications. These changes have disrupted the river's natural hydrology and hydraulics, degraded water quality, reduced biodiversity, and impacted ecosystem services. The article argues that sustainable rehabilitation of the river ecosystem requires reversing these physical, chemical, and biological alterations through projects that reestablish the historical floodplain and implement ecohydrological goals and metrics to measure success.

WATER RESOURCE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PALOUSE REGION: A SYSTEMS APPROACH
This thesis examines the sustainability of water resources in the Palouse Region located on the border of Idaho and Washington. The region relies on two confined groundwater aquifers, the upper Wanapum and lower Grande Ronde, which show declining water levels. The author develops system dynamics models to simulate population growth, water demand, hydrological processes, and economic factors. The simple model lumps the aquifers together, while the hydraulically separated model divides them based on geology. Water balance calculations estimate recharge rates. Regression analysis determines the price elasticity of water demand. The models project the lifespan of the aquifers under different recharge and demand scenarios. Assuming potential surface water use and a water management strategy,

The Delta and its relationship to Integrated Water Resources Management
This document provides an overview of the Delta and its importance to California's water resources and ecosystem. It discusses the history of water infrastructure development and environmental laws in California. It also describes current challenges facing the Delta, including subsidence, endangered species declines, flood risks, and conflicting water demands. The document advocates for an integrated, science-based approach to managing the Delta through the Delta Stewardship Council and its Delta Plan.
Aquatic connectivity - Prof. Brian Fry ACEAS Grand
The document summarizes a workshop on aquatic connectivity that was held in January 2013 at the Moreton Bay Marine Research Station. Seventeen experts in fields related to connectivity such as genetics, modeling, and field studies attended to discuss the importance of connectivity in maintaining populations and the tools available to study connectivity. Heavy weather disrupted ferry access to the island during the workshop but it proceeded as planned. The workshop participants aimed to develop synthetic approaches to studying landscape connectivity across different techniques and ecosystems and produce a manuscript summarizing their discussions.
Salmonid Protection Proposal
This proposal outlines a 7-year salmonid protection project for Swanton Pacific Ranch. It would assess potential impacts to salmonids from construction of a new learning center near Little Creek. A task force would research historical salmonid populations, identify habitats, and monitor numbers for 7 years. The project aims to protect threatened coho salmon and protect the ranch's riparian ecosystems while allowing construction.
5e lesson plan
1. The lesson plan teaches students about bioaccumulation and biomagnification in the San Joaquin Delta ecosystem through interactive simulations and a river study.
2. Students explore the concepts by creating a food web, simulating bioaccumulation up the food chain, and conducting water quality testing and macroinvertebrate studies on a local river.
3. To explain their understanding, students write a wiki summarizing their river study results and assessing needs for restoration. They then reflect on human impacts to the California Delta ecosystem and restoration efforts.
Vannote 1980
This document presents the River Continuum Concept, which proposes that the structural and functional characteristics of biological communities in rivers are adapted to conform to the physical conditions and energy flow patterns of the river system. It hypothesizes that from headwaters to mouth, there is a gradient of physical conditions in rivers that elicits responses in biological populations, resulting in consistent patterns of organic matter transport and use along the river's length. Communities are proposed to form a continuum with shredder and collector-dominated assemblages in headwaters transitioning to scraper-dominated in mid-sized rivers and collectors in large rivers, reflecting shifts in food resources with stream size.
Rivers presentation
The document discusses the Rivers of the Anthropocene project which examines how human activities have impacted river systems since 1750. Phase 1 focuses on the Ohio River and River Tyne. An international team of researchers from different disciplines will compare the ecological, social, and environmental histories of the rivers. In January 2014, the team will hold a conference to share findings and develop models to integrate scientific and humanities approaches to studying long-term human-river interactions. The project aims to further understanding of current environmental issues.
Nature
This document discusses natural resources that can be used for better science teaching and learning. It identifies resources like ponds, rivers, lakes, forests, wetlands, sacred groves, and mangroves. It then provides details about each resource, describing what they are, where they are typically found, and their importance. For example, it explains that a pond is a small body of standing water, natural or artificial, that often contains marsh plants and animals. Lakes are generally found in mountainous areas or along river courses. Forests cover much of the earth's surface and provide ecosystem services. In conclusion, the document states that science teacher preparation should demonstrate knowledge of these natural resources and how to engage students in studying related topics like

INTS final paper fish and fracking
This document summarizes a research paper that uses an interdisciplinary approach to analyze whether fracking, fisheries management, and conservation can be environmentally compatible. The paper uses the disciplines of fisheries management and conservation science. It analyzes insights from each discipline and identifies some conflicts, but also common goals around conserving water resources and fish habitats. The paper finds that while fracking poses some threats to aquatic ecosystems, with strict regulations on well integrity and wastewater management, fracking may be compatible with the environment and uses less water than other energy extraction methods.
Beyond taxonomy: A traits-based approach to fish community ecology
This document discusses using traits-based approaches to understand fish community ecology. It begins by outlining threats to freshwater fishes like habitat loss and pollution. The author argues that traits-based ecology enhances understanding of ecological patterns and processes, provides opportunities for generalization, and links biodiversity and ecosystem function. Research on fish traits can explain where species live, how many coexist in an area, and how they respond to environmental change. The author presents on using traits to predict extinction risk of fishes and anticipate how communities will respond to environmental change. Body size correlates with extinction risk, with smaller-bodied fishes less vulnerable. Life histories have evolved trade-offs that enable coping with ecological challenges. Traits may indicate ecosystem implications
THESIS
This thesis studied sea turtle stranding events along the mid-north coast of New South Wales, Australia between 2008 and 2014. A total of 205 stranded sea turtles were admitted to a rehabilitation center, with 161 being green turtles and 36 hawksbills. Spatial analysis identified two regions and five hotspot locations with high stranding frequencies. Strandings peaked from October to December and some years had higher stranding numbers than others. A correlation was found between stranding events in some locations and lagged rainfall data, suggesting environmental factors may influence strandings. Heavy metal analysis found high concentrations in tissues of deceased turtles, though water samples did not show toxic levels, warranting further investigation into metal exposure sources.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.

"Unleashing Small Business Innovations: A Path to Growth and ProsperityCauses Supporting Charity for Elderly People
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

02/18/2016 - Cullowhee Creek Project
- 1. Watershed Moments: Exploring Science and Math in Cullowhee Creek
- 2. The Highlands Biological Station connection Mission: to foster research and education focused on the rich natural heritage of the Highlands plateau while preserving and celebrating the the integrity of the “biological crown of the southern Appalachians.”
- 3. Institute for the Environment (UNC) at HBS Coursework and research focused on applied study of the southern Appalachian environment.
- 4. For the last 6 years, the IE capstone has focused on stream ecology and hydrology. Cullowhee Creek Savannah Creek Caney Fork Horsepasture River
- 5. Stream work with WCU freshmen.
- 6. Science with middle school kids.
- 7. Science with middle school kids.
- 8. Stream systems are shaped by geological, climatic, chemical and biological factors (the River Continuum Concept (RCC). There is a dynamic but predictable gradient of physical, chemical and biological characteristics that can be observed and measured, including width, flow velocity, erosional capacity, temperature, riparian vegetation, and macroinvertebrate assemblages. Why streams?
- 9. This progression presents opportunities for mathematical exploration of stream characteristics, from flow and discharge to erosional force.
- 10. It also presents opportunities for biological exploration of stream characteristics, including macroinvertebrates and their feeding guilds.
- 11. Waterways are increasingly at risk of impairment from development, agriculture, and other human activities, and the RCC can serve as a scaffold for understanding stream impairment, including accelerated erosional processes, sedimentation, and decreased riparian zones.
- 12. The Tuckasegee River watershed encompasses approximately 97% of Jackson County, and the river is important as a source of hydroelectric power, drinking water and tourism.
- 13. Cullowhee Creek is ~ 7 miles in length and is especially well suited for teaching and learning about streams owing to (1) its proximity and accessibility, and (2) its basic healthiness punctuated by impacted reaches.
- 14. 1) engage in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) through outdoor, place-based learning; 2) learn about the sciences of stream ecology and hydrology, and how these are studied; 3) understand the nature of scientific investigation; 4) examine authentic environmental issues of streams and offer potential solutions; and 5) connect with professionals and experts so that they can better understand what career opportunities are available in STEM fields. Goals of Watershed Moments
- 15. We are partnering with a Cullowhee Valley School teacher, future teachers (undergraduate students studying to become teachers), and a biology graduate student from WCU.
- 16. We will work with other biologists, hydrologists, and watershed management professionals from western NC.
