Models and Linkages for Hydrological and Biological Processes


Sustainable Ecosystems Institute convened a workshop in October 2006 to review the hydrological model, initial progress of the habitat assessment and monitoring program (HAMP) and the biological link between Missouri River programs. This review was a continuation of the Independent Science Review program which included reviews of the Pallid Sturgeon Assessment and Habitat Assessment and Monitoring Program (HAMP).

It begins with an element that was covered initially in the 2005 Independent Science Review (ISR) report – the HAMP Program. Then new topics that have come to the fore since the last review are addressed, including telemetry, conceptual model, and hydrological modeling issues.

The final report is now available for downloading: Independent Science Review of the Models and Linkages for Hydrological and Biological processes of the Missouri River (PDF format; 313 kb).
