Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit

The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in understanding how different thermal and flow regimes affect smallmouth bass population dynamics. The objectives of the project are to 1) develop population models for smallmouth bass that respond to changing hydrology and water temperature, and 2) use these models to forecast how different reservoir operations (and resulting hydrology and thermal regimes) may impact smallmouth bass population dynamics.
