Climate change and salmon in the Oregon Coast Range
Sea level rise will inundation estuaries changing the amount
and location of critical estuarine habitats for salmon. Changes
in stream flow and water temperature will impact
stream habitat.. read more

Analyzing Streams as Networks:
Streams are organized as interconnected water networks.
Fish and other aquatic obligate species use habitats
throughout a stream network. Analysis of patterns of
habitat and fish distribution within a stream network
offers an opportunity to consider new ideas about
native aquatic species persistence.

It Takes a Community to Restore A Watershed
The Long Tom Watershed Council (LTWC) is an example of an
effective social infrastructure that integrates science with social
networks to develop coordinated watershed management that
is responsive to ongoing scientific learning. The Council’s
subwatershed enhancement program effectively enlists both
landowners and scientists to cooperate in stream
restoration projects.

Multi-scale Analysis of Coho Salmon Over Large Spatial Extents
The life history of coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, is a complex
example of adaptation in response to diverse habitats in the dynamic
environments of the Pacific Northwest. As large-scale disturbances
affect the suitability of habitats in entire basins over time, adult coho
distribution patterns adapt to maintain salmon populations. Juvenile
coho respond to smaller-scale, local conditions as they seek specialized
seasonal habitats.
