NALCC/NECSC Decision Support System

In progress: The objective of Phase 1, which is being funded via this cooperative agreement, is to develop a web-based decision support system for evaluating effects of alternate management strategies on local population persistence of brook trout under different climate change scenarios. This DSS will include a hierarchical Bayesian model that accounts for multiple scales and sources of uncertainty in climate change predictions; it will include models to predict stream flow and temperature based on air temperature and precipitation; and it will incorporate climate change forecasts into population persistence models.
