interdisciplinary project pairs ecological and hydrological science with mechanistic and simulation modeling, which would provide a research participant the unique opportunity to participate in research to enhance understanding of the relative risks of various
stressors on aquatic systems and inform protection actions for habitat resilience and restoration actions for habitat and fish recovery. The research participant will have the opportunity to contribute to watershed research at the Pacific Ecological Systems
Division to support modeling of stream and landscape attributes as influenced by various stressors, and subsequent projected effects on fish assemblages. This research aims to develop a quantitative foundation for integrating physical and ecological data that
is required to improve our capacity to make strategic decisions regarding important current and future policy needs supporting the EPA’s capacity to protect the nation’s water resources as mandated under the federal Clean Water Act.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

options. Application of process-based models of stream temperature, sediments, and/or nutrients may also be involved. The research will primarily be conducted using existing datasets but some field data collection may be required.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
