Climate-Aquatics Blog
The intent of the Climate-Aquatics Blog is to provide a means for the field biologists, hydrologists, students, managers, and researchers to more broadly and rapidly discuss topical issues associated with aquatic ecosystems and climate change. Messages periodically posted to this blog will highlight peer-reviewed research and science tools that may be useful in addressing this global phenomenon. A forum for group discussions of these tools and new scientific findings has been set up as a Google Group (instructions for joining). Here, we’ve stored the text of the original Blog posts, supporting graphics, and peer-reviewed articles because the latter cannot be uploaded to the Google Group.
Many of the ideas for blog postings have their roots in studies conducted across the Rocky Mountain region of the western US, but attempts will be made to present topics & tools in ways that highlight their broader global relevance. Moreover, it is acknowledged that the studies, tools, and techniques highlighted in these missives are by no means the only, or perhaps even the best, science products in existence on particular topics, so the hope is that this discussion group engages others doing, or interested in, similar work and that healthy debates & information exchanges will occur to facilitate the rapid dissemination of knowledge among those most passionate about climate change and it's effects on aquatic ecosystems.
Best regards,
Dan Isaak

Instructions for joining the Climatic-Aquatics group discussion:
Click the Climatic-Aquatics group discussion link and you will be able to see the discussion thread text.
To post comments and read those of others, however, you'll first have to join the Climate-Aquatics Group (you'll only have to do this the first time).
To join, follow these steps:
1) on the right side of the page, click on "Join this group"
2) Create your account information with Google user name & password,
3) Add your "nickname",
4) Pick one of the four available options for how you'll read this group (I'd advise against the bottom one that sends a new email every time a comment is added to a discussion thread),
5) Select "Join this group" at the bottom of the page, and
6) Click on the discussion topic hyperlink and you should now be able to post comments to the discussion thread.
