Aquatic Monitoring - Eastern (AM)

Objectives are to introduce the conceptual framework, legal policies, biological/physical/statistical principles, and field techniques needed to develop an effective aquatic resource monitoring program. Elemental knowledge of aquatic ecology, basic life histories of aquatic biota, fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, water chemistry, and sampling design/statistical considerations needed specifically for monitoring will be presented. Part of time devoted to field demonstration of data collection techniques and relevant equipment. Case studies which illustrate successful applications of monitoring information will be presented, covering such issues as grazing, timber harvest/roading, and chemical pollution, aquatic TES species population viability, and land use effects on wetlands and lakes. Participants will design an aquatic monitoring program for actual use on their field units.

Comparison of the two "Aquatic Monitoring" workshops:

Aquatic Monitoring - Eastern and Aquatic Ecosystem Monitoring & Evaluation (NR16 - R6 Aquatic Ecosystems Technical Training Series) cover similar topics but differ in perspective. Aquatic Monitoring-Eastern focuses on techniques and topics relevant to the eastern United States. NR16 focuses on techniques and topics relevant to the western United States. See the respective web pages or vendors for detailed information. NR16 is scheduled annually at a predetermined location. AM-Eastern is "on demand": you contact Brett Roper to set up a workshop in your area. It is easy to set up a workshop with Brett. Give us a call and we will help you.
