Postdoc: stream temperature modeling

We anticipate hiring a Post-Doc to study climate change impacts on temperature of streams in the intermountain western United States that provide critical habitat for cold-water dependent fishes. The project will use reach- and network-scale models in a mechanistic study of the factors controlling stream temperature response to climate change – especially the effects of changing stream discharge and air temperature, changes in channel morphology, hyporheic exchange, and riparian shade following stream restoration, and the longer-term potential influences of air temperature on groundwater temperatures.
