This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)0846360TullosThis CAREER award applies ecological engineering to the management of environmental systems. It involves application and extension of the Willamette Collaborative Model, being developed and used by federal agencies for water resources planning in the Willamette River Basin in Oregon. The study will also address uncertainty analysis and stakeholder-driven planning processes. As such, the fundamental research activity of this work is the integration of existing modeling tools with the addition of components for better evaluation of outcomes in terms of ecosystem health (fish habitat). The hypothesis is that the impact of climate change on ecosystems can be mitigated by dam reoperation. An integrated modeling approach will be developed for predicting and managing habitat for endangered salmon with connection to endangered species and the threat of climate change. Dam reoperations to be studied by this proposed project will-- be an important measure for climate change adaptation. The educational objective is to enhance the ecological engineering program in the PI's university and to activate stakeholder participation in sustainable river management. A large number of students, including under-represented students in engineering, will be involved in the educational plan. Engaging stakeholders will extend the impact beyond education of graduate and undergraduate engineering students.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）0846360塔罗斯资助的。它涉及威拉米特合作模式的应用和扩展，该模式正在由联邦机构开发和使用，用于俄勒冈州威拉米特河流域的水资源规划。这项研究还将涉及不确定性分析和业主驱动的规划过程。因此，这项工作的基础研究活动是整合现有的建模工具，增加组件，以更好地评估生态系统健康（鱼类栖息地）的结果。 这一假设是，气候变化对生态系统的影响可以通过大坝重新运行来减轻。将开发一种综合建模方法，用于预测和管理与濒危物种和气候变化威胁有关的濒危鲑鱼栖息地。 本项目所研究的大坝再运行将是适应气候变化的一项重要措施。 教育目标是加强PI大学的生态工程计划，并激活利益相关者参与可持续河流管理。 大量的学生，包括代表性不足的工程专业学生，将参与教育计划。参与利益相关者将扩大影响超越研究生和本科工程专业学生的教育。
