 In May 2024, NUSO scientists supported a Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC)-led dye-trace study to characterize river flow patterns and ultimately evaluate habitat for endangered pallid sturgeon reproduction along the Missouri River. This study, which NUSO also supported in May 2021, is part of an ongoing CERC and Water Resources Mission Area collaboration to study the factors leading to spawning and survival of the endangered pallid sturgeon in the Missouri River.
