Project Videos – Pacific Islands-Alaska CASC Collaboration

Analyzing Future Precipitation Extremes for Resource Management Planning

Drought and precipitation extremes are of significant concern to natural resource management in both Hawai‘i and Southeast Alaska. This project will make existing CASC-supported numerical modeling results more accessible for resource managers who experience barriers to incorporating climate change projections into their planning.

BTS: Observe & Conserve

Topics: Hydrology, Nutrients, Ocean, Streams

Short video featuring Dr. John Burns and the multiscale environmental graphical analysis (MEGA) lab. The MEGA lab is a global consortium of scientists, athletes, and artists who use science as a way to improve our planet. The overarching goal of the MEGA lab is to create innovative solutions that protect our oceans, providing to the communities that need them the most.

From Land to Sea: How will hydrologic regime shifts influence Southeast Alaska and Hawaiʻi rivers?

Topics: Hydrology, Streams

Streamflows are changing in both Hawaiʻi and Southeast Alaska, impacting riverine ecosystems and the marine ecosystems into which rivers flow. This project examines how changes in sequence affect nutrient cycling, how the timing of high and low-flow in rivers and streams will impact surrounding ecosystems, and how the human dimension is impacted by these changes. This video was a part of a National Climate Adaptation Science Center Webinar on December 7, 2021 and featured the PI-AK collaboration.

Shifts in Carbon Exports from a Hawaiian Watershed under a Changing Climate

Topics: Ecosystems, Ocean, Streams

Water Boger presents his work on carbon exports to estuaries at the University of Hawai’i at Hilo TCBES graduate symposium.

Understanding Nutrient Transport through Streamflow and Fish Populations

Topics: Invasive Species, Nutrients, Streams

The overall goal of the proposed project is to develop a multidisciplinary team to evaluate the effect of flow alteration on R2R and I2O watersheds. This project will evaluate the effects of annual variability in flow conditions on the growth and survival of invasive armored suckermouth catfish in Hawaiian streams, and compare/contrast findings to those of a complementary study linking hydrology to freshwater salmon growth in southeast Alaska.
