Land Protection Impact Assessment in Support of Delaware River Watershed Initiative

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project evaluates the hypothesis that protection and/or maintenance of natural land maintains ecological stream quality by limiting, preventing, or redirecting changes to land cover and use away from headwaters,…

Long-Term Research in Environmental Biology: River Ecosystem Responses to Floodplain Restoration

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

After 25 years of litigation, a massive ecological restoration is underway in the Upper Clark Fork River in Montana. Metal-laden floodplain soils are being removed, floodplains are being reconnected with…

Macroinvertebrate Monitoring at Sites in White Clay Creek, Pa., Flint River, Ga., Susquehanna River, Pa., and Delaware River, Pa.

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

These projects use aquatic macroinvertebrates such as mayflies, stoneflies, and caddisflies to provide assessments of current water quality in these streams and rivers.

Microbial Population Dynamics of Periphyton Biofilms in White Clay Creek

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

Using glass microscope slides as tiny gardens to grow microbial biofilms, this project explored differences in microorganisms between three reaches of White Clay Creek with different streamside vegetation. Molecular DNA…

Microbial Population Monitoring in Red Clay Creek

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

Scientists monitored fecal indicator bacteria on a monthly basis at the east and west branches of the Red Clay Creek watershed. (Project details may change over the lifespan of a…

Monitoring Fish Populations and Stream Habitat Quality for the National Park Service

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project monitors biological conditions, water quality, habitat integrity, and fish at 37 sites in 10 national parks in the National Capital Region Network around Washington, D.C. The National Park…

Monitoring Harmful Algal Blooms in Two Reservoirs Serving the City of Wilmington, Del.

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

Researchers deploy and maintain two sampling buoys to gather real-time data on algae populations in two Wilmington, Del., reservoirs. Data will be used to predict and prevent the development of…

Pohatcong Township, N.J.: Watershed Restoration and Protection Plan

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project will develop a watershed restoration and protection plan with the goal of improving the waterways of Pohatcong Township, N.J., for the New Jersey Highlands Council. Funded by: New…

North American Macroinvertebrate Taxonomic Certification Program

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This program coordinates and executes the taxonomic certification program for the Society for Freshwater Science, conducting family- and genus-level tests throughout the year. Funded by: Society for Freshwater Science Principal…

Recovery of Nutrient Processes and Microbial Communities in Relict Hydric Soils Following Restoration

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This research explores how microbes and biogeochemical processes in buried relict soils evolve after restoration and how these organisms and processes can be harnessed to remove nitrogen before it pollutes…
