This USGS and Colorado Plateau CESU grant is for aquatic ecology research focused on the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB). Its purpose is to investigate potential climate change impacts on UCRB fish fauna. The research will examine historic and current fish distribution patterns relative to thermal regimes, model thermal resources to understand species preferences, and describe future fish distribution under various climate change scenarios. Additionally, it aims to determine zones of overlap for native and non-native fishes. This grant seeks to provide crucial information to land managers for protecting and conserving fish communities in the UCRB from climate change effects.
