Implications of Climate Change for Fishes in Headwater Streams: What's Changing and What can We Do About It?

Abstract

Bruce Rieman has recently retired as a research scientist and program manager for the USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station in Boise, Idaho. He has 34 years experience in research, management and research program administration dealing with fishes, fisheries, and conservation biology. His work has extended throughout the Interior Columbia River Basin, but also has influenced aquatic natural resource management in much of the interior west. His most recent focus has been in collaboration with a team of physical and biological scientists investigating fish population dynamics, habitat relationships, and factors influencing persistence of local and regional populations. The implications of wildfire and climate change have been important elements of this work.
