The USGS is offering a Cooperative Agreement grant to a CESU-affiliated partner. This grant is for researching critical links between river management, stream metabolism, and aquatic ecosystems in the Upper Colorado River Basin. The project’s purpose is to characterize stream metabolism using dissolved oxygen data and collect higher trophic level data (insects, fish) to understand their environmental dependencies. It also includes a literature review on metabolism-trophic level connections and CRSS modeling to predict how river discharge variations, influenced by management, affect aquatic ecosystems and fish populations, vital for river management.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in understanding links between river management, stream metabolism and aquatic ecosystems in the upper Basin of the Colorado River. The objectives of the project are to 1) characterizing stream metabolism at various sites throughout the Upper basin of the Colorado River through collection and analysis of high frequency dissolved oxygen data, 2) collect and analyze data for higher trophic levels (e.g., insect and fish) both with respect to environmental drivers and variation in stream metabolism, 3) conduct a literature review and analysis of links between stream metabolism and higher trophic levels across other sites, and 4) provide CRSS modelling to determine variation in river discharge under different management scenarios and how it may impact aquatic ecosystems and/or fish population dynamics. |
