To quote a recent email: Increases in river and stream temperatures caused by water use, landscape alteration, and climate change were discussed in a May 6 symposium at the Western Division American Fisheries Society annual meeting in Portland, Oregon.
USGS landscape ecologist Christian Torgersen and Environmental Protection Agency scientists Joe Ebersole and Dru Keenan organized the full-day special session "Identifying, Protecting, and Restoring Thermal Refuges for Coldwater Fishes." Torgersen synthesized current science and identified research needs on coldwater fish and thermal refuges, and Mary Ann Madej from the Western Fisheries Research Center discussed thermal refuges and rearing restrictions of juvenile coho salmon.
