This presentation, “Breaking Traditional Barriers to Model Climate Change and Land Use Impacts on Freshwater Mussels”, is a part of the Climate Change Science and Management Webinar Series from the USGS National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center and the FWS National Conservation Training Center.

The Shoreline Management Tool is a GIS-based application used to assess how changes in water depth can affect an area. This includes identifying areas that may flood when water reaches a certain level or estimating how much water is available at any given time.

"Lake Mead — Clear and Vital" is a thirteen minute documentary relating the crucial role of science in maintaining high water quality in Lake Mead. The program was produced coincident with release of the Lakes Mead and Mohave Circular a USGS publication covering past and on-going research in the lakes and tributaries of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

By Walter Mooney, Geophysicist

The U.S. Geological Survey's National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC) works to provide natural resource managers with the scientific tools and information they need to develop and execute management strategies that address the impacts of climate and other ongoing global changes on fish and wildlife and their habitats. Similarly, the eight U.S.

USGS Hydrologist Liam Schenk measures sediment transport using an acoustic doppler instrument suspended from a cableway downstream from Fall Creek Reservoir. Reservoir was drawn down to purge sediment and trapped fish from behind dam in December 2012.

Muddy, or turbid water, caused by suspended-sediment released during Fall Creek Reservoir draw down. Reservoir was drawn down to purge sediment and trapped fish from behind dam in December 2012.

As a USGS hydrologist, Anthony Lopez is currently working on two projects. The first project consists of assessing toxicity of the sediment in Barnegat Bay. For this project, Anthony samples the bay and its tributaries for any pesticides, pharmaceuticals, medals or any other anthropogenic contaminants.
