  3. What we want to accomplish by tomorrow… • Debrief from Phase 1 • Review of progress on goals and objectives • What worked, what didn’t from a programmatic standpoint • Come to consensus on program purpose and goals • ID core components and areas of growth in Phase 2 • ID alternative operational program designs based on Section funding scenarios.

  7. For another day… • Formalize survey design and split-panel design • Sentinel Lake composition going forward • Random Lake assessments • What does 2012 look like? • Will we be ready? Staff and protocols in place? • Stop-gap measures? • Another meeting to precede Fall Area Sups?

  8. Synopsis of Phase 1 Ongoing efforts and deliverables: • USGS forecast models predicting outcomes of climate change and landuse on cold-water habitat in Carlos, Elk, and Trout (LCCMR)

  9. Sentinel watersheds as focal points of long-term monitoring and research USGS Objectives – Monitoring watershed

  10. Synopsis of Phase 1 Ongoing efforts and deliverables: • USGS forecast models predicting outcomes of climate change and landuse on cold-water habitat in Carlos, Elk, and Trout (LCCMR) • SCWRS water quality reconstruction in South Twin, Carlos, Elk, Trout, White Iron, Ten Mile, and Cedar (LCCMR)

  11. Historical reconstructions of water quality and sedimentation – St. Croix Wshd research station 1840s • LCCMR grant • Sediments archive conditions of the past • Link changes to historical climate conditions Today
