Analyzing Future Precipitation Extremes for Resource Management Planning

Topics: ,

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. This video was a part of a National Climate Adaptation Science Center Webinar on December 7, 2021 and featured the PI-AK collaboration.

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

Topics: ,

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.

Understanding Nutrient Transport through Streamflow and Fish Populations

Topics: , ,

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.
