Aquatic and Land Interactions Program

Juneau Aquatic and Land Interactions Team

Research highlights:

- Quantify processes affecting productivity of stream habitats.

- Develop and assess techniques to monitor and inventory aquatic habitat.

- Determine the ecological role of surface-groundwater exchange zones in streams.

- Develop methods to monitor coho responses to timber harvest.

- Understand physical and chemical processes in high-gradient headwater streams and their effect on productivity of stream systems.

- Identify essential habitats and processes for anadromous salmonids across landscapes of southeast Alaska.

- Quantify the movement of fish in high-gradient streams in response to hydrologic variability.

Rick Edwards is an aquatic ecologist and Team Leader of the Juneau Aquatic and Land Interactions team in Juneau, Alaska. His research interests include stream biogeochemistry, hyporheic ecology, wetland-steam interactions, effects of marine derived nutrients on streams, and indicators of watershed condition.

Mason D. Bryant is a research fishery biologist in the Juneau ALI team. His research interests are salmonid and cold water fish ecology, aquatic habitat monitoring, and response of fish and aquatic habitat to natural and management induced disturbance.

Adelaide Johnson is a hydrologist in the ALITeam in Juneau. Her research interests include investigating links between physical and biologic processes.
