Analysis and Preparation of State Diatom Datasets for Aquatic Resource Management

On this page:

  • Overview
This is a scoping and problem formulation presentation with states in Region 8 that are interested in using diatom data to manage stream ecosystems. We will explain the steps that may be required to prepare diatom data for applications that would meet state needs, such as developing water quality criteria or assessing environmental condition. We will facilitate discussion of the potential benefits or challenges of harmonizing data across the region. We will present a complementary pilot project using functional groups to harmonize and apply diatom data to states' objectives.

Impact/Purpose

This is a scoping and problem formulation presentation with states in Region 8 that are interested in using diatom data to develop bioassessment tools for stream ecosystems.
