E&S is collaborating with the Wild Salmon Center, NOAA, Karuk Tribe, Yurok Tribe, UC Berkeley, and Oregon State University on a project in the Lower Klamath River Basin in Northern California that seeks to enhance understanding of drivers of historical Chinook salmon populations and population dynamics. A portion of the work entails use of the S3 model to track the movement, growth, and survival of juvenile Chinook salmon during out-migration, and the RBM10 model to obtain temperature and flow data for relevant tributaries in the Basin.

E&S will develop freshwater flow and temperature metrics, leveraging both gage and model data, and will contribute to the development of statistical models of biological response across focal life stages. A separate dataset of ocean covariates will also be developed and used with statistical methods to predict early ocean survival response.
