USGS Expands Studies of Brook Trout
The Past as a Prelude to the Future: Assessing Climate Effects on Native Trout in the U.S.
Bringing People, Data, and Models Together – Addressing Impacts of Climate Change on Stream Temperature
Stream temperature and sculpin growth data collected from Catoctin Mountain Park in 2019
Video data for trout abundance estimation
Brook trout movement data related to cover and forage in an experimental stream system with associated water quality parameters
Seismic data for study of shallow mountain bedrock limits seepage-based headwater climate refugia, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
Water and air temperature data from Shenandoah Valley streams, Virginia (2017)
Stream fish species abundance and associated physical habitat data in Catoctin Mountain Park (2015-2016)
Temperature data for study of shallow mountain bedrock limits seepage-based headwater climate refugia, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
Air-water temperature data for the study of groundwater influence on stream thermal regimes in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia (ver. 2.0, May 3, 2018)
USGS Leetown Science Center scientists collected hourly air and water temperature data at 79 site locations within nine watersheds in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia over four water years (2012-2015). Data were collected using HOBO Pro V2 thermographs (accuracy = 0.2 degrees Celsius, drift = less than 0.1 degrees Celsius per year per year).
Spout Run temperature study revisited- Part II: New insights for trout habitat from TU & USGS collaboration 2022
Stream size, temperature, and density explain body sizes of freshwater salmonids across a range of climate conditions
Life history strategies of stream fishes linked to predictors of hydrologic stability
Comparative morphology of freshwater sculpin inhabiting different environmental conditions in the Chesapeake Bay headwaters
Response of aquatic life to coal mining in Appalachia
Assessing native fish restoration potential in Catoctin Mountain Park
Heed the data gap: Guidelines for using incomplete datasets in annual stream temperature analyses
Modeling occupancy of rare stream fish species in the upper Cumberland and Kentucky River Basins
Comparison of underwater video with electrofishing and dive‐counts for stream fish abundance estimation
Paired air-water annual temperature patterns reveal hydrogeological controls on stream thermal regimes at watershed to continental scales
Spatial and temporal trends in Potomac River fish abundance linked to species traits
Distribution and status of trout and char in North America
