December 2019: SHEDS Applications Beyond New England
-
This presentation by Dr Jeffrey Walker (USGS, UMass-Amherst) explores the capabilities of Interactive Catchment Explorer spatial applications beyond New England. Current projects include tracking movements of PIT-tagged fish, evaluating ecological benefits of culvert and dam improvements, assessing vulnerability of endangered fish, and a streamflow alteration study. The presentation contains links to each interactive tool.

Rapid Assessment Protocol for Aquatic Passability of Tidally Influenced Road-Stream Crossings
-
There is growing interest among conservation practitioners to have a method to assess tidally influenced crossings for their potential as barriers to aquatic organism passage. Protocols designed for freshwater streams will not adequately address the passage challenges of bi-directional flow and widely variable depth and velocity of tidally influenced systems. Diadromous fish must be able to overcome the enhanced water velocities associated with tidal restrictions to reach upstream spawning habitat. This project will build on the existing North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Collaborative's protocol, database and scoring procedures to extend the applicability of this region-wide program to road-stream crossings in tidally influenced settings.

First Annual UMaine Freshwater Science Symposium
-
The First Annual UMaine Freshwater Science Symposium will showcase freshwater research being conducted by UMaine faculty, staff and students within Maine and beyond. This half-day symposium will feature two poster sessions and two oral presentations by guest speakers. Dr. Bill McDowell from the University of New Hampshire will be the plenary speaker for this kick-‐off event. Dr. McDowell is the Director of the New Hampshire Water Resources Research Center, and has conducted research on carbon, nitrogen, natural disturbance, and human disturbance in remote and urban landscapes in temperate as well as tropical ecosystems. Dr. Dave Courtemanch, Freshwater Science and Policy Analyst for the Maine Chapter of The Nature Conservancy.
