about AWAE
The RMRS Air, Water, and Aquatic Environments (AWAE) Science Program is committed to
the development of knowledge and science applications related to air and water
quality, as well as the habitat quality, distribution, diversity, and
persistence of fish and other aquatic species.
Mission Statement: To develop and apply scientific
knowledge to support management, conservation, and
restoration of terrestrial, riparian and aquatic ecosystems while optimizing air
and water quality and delivery in the Interior West.

Stream
Temperature Modeling
Designed to assist users to better organize and
understand their temperature data as it pertains to broad-scale aquatic habitat
issues, the stream temperature
modeling website contains information on collecting, processing, and
archiving stream temperature data. Application of these data are highlighted in
three research projects that provide a range of modeling alternatives and
predictive accuracy. Each project has links to: primary publications; detailed
methods and metadata; GIS layers; project data; maps; and other related
materials. These sites provide more information than is traditionally available
in a journal article so that the modeling approaches and results may easily be
replicated.

GRAIP- Quantifying and Prioritizing Road Impacts
Forest roads are
the principle source of anthropogenic fine sediment entering streams on Forest
Service lands. How do we efficiently locate, quantify and prioritize these
sediment sources for remediation?
