Developing Tools to Assess Impacts of Glacier Change on Gulf of Alaska Hydrology and Ecology
Project ID: G15AC00132 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $25,000 Total Funding: $25,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The goal of this research is to significantly improve the estimates of freshwater runoff into the Gulf of Alaska. Specifically, to: 1. Improve the spatial resolution of the estimates (1 km scale) 2. Improve the daily resolution of the estimates (daily) 3. Improve…
Geodetic Glacier Mass Balances in the Pacific Northwest
Project ID: G15AC00529 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $20,005 Total Funding: $20,005 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The objective of this project is to integrate observations from multiple image acquisition platforms into a coherent time series of glacier volume changes for a variety of sites in the Pacific Northwest, including South Cascade Glacier and the others in Washington State (e.g.,…
Predicting the Next High-Impact Insect Invasion: Elucidating Traits and Factors Determining Risk of Introduced Herbivorous Insects on North American Native Plants
Project ID: G16AC00065 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $50,000 Total Funding: $80,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The goal of this research is a continental scale study of high-impact insect invasions caused by genus specialists. Will examine the contribution of five types of drivers toward these impacts: (1) the insects’ and host plants’ evolutionary history, (2) the hosts’ defenses or…
Remote Sensing of Glaciers and Glacier Change in the American West
Project ID: G16AC00114 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $70,100 Total Funding: $101,100 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The primary objective is the calculation of volume change for as many glaciers as can image. To assess volume change remotely requires high resolution (~0.5m) stereo satellite imagery from WorldView from which digital elevation models (DEMs) are constructed using NASA‐Ames Stereo Pipeline software….
2019 WSP Nest Monitoring & Protection
Project ID: F18AC00463 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $54,179 Total Funding: $54,179 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Monitor nesting activity, abundance and spatial distribution of western snowy plovers along the Oregon coast. Monitoring has been ongoing since 1990 and is required by the Recovery Plan for the Western Snowy Plover, Pacific Coast Population.
Longevity of bioretention depths for preventing acute toxicity from urban stormwater runoff
Project ID: F19AC00017 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $316,213 Total Funding: $316,213 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Funds under this award are to be used to answer two important questions that the proposed research will address: 1) How long can the 60:40 bioretention soil media prevent toxic effects to aquatic animals, and 2) What soil depths are necessary to provide…
Columbia Basin Pygmy Rabbit Recovery
Project ID: F19AC00267 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $66,270 Total Funding: $66,270 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Funds under this award are to be used to continue ongoing recovery efforts for the endangered Columbia Basin Pygmy Rabbit. More specifically the work will achieve the following objectives: • Assisting with monitoring and surveys to document population establishment by having University of…
Effectiveness of thinning-and burning treatments on persistence of Northern Idaho Ground Squirrels
Project ID: F19AC00296 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $50,000 Total Funding: $50,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Funds under this award are to be used to document whether thin-and-bum habitat treatments increase annual reproductive output, body mass, overwinter survival, or natal recruitment of Northern Idaho Ground Squirrels (NIDGS). Funding these positions is critical towards carrying out actions identified in the…
Assisting Recovery of Wenatchee Mountain Endemics
Project ID: F19AC00354 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $96,000 Total Funding: $96,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Funds under this award are to be used to: (1) Identify and conduct drone surveys of potential habitat for Showy Stickseed (Hackelia venusta) and (2) Evaluate techniques for and impacts of woody species removal on Wenatchee Mountains Checkermallow (Sidalcea oregana var. calva). The…
Influence of Ravens on Baker} GRSG Population
Project ID: F19AC00394 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $55,000 Total Funding: $55,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Funds under this award are to be used to evaluate interactive effects of ravens (presence and/or abundance) with anthropogenic subsidies, annual grass, and fire on sage-grouse, and other related topics as outlined in the Statement of Work. The Service Will: • Assist in…
