Detailed <br /> <br />information needs for various objectives and resource areas were defined by representatives of <br /> <br />the AMWG working cooperatively with the GCMRC. These objectives and information needs <br /> <br />may be found in the Strategic Plan and will be reviewed and revised in FY 1998 to. <br /> <br />PROPOSED MONITORING AND SCffiNCE PROGRAMS <br /> <br />Monitoring and science programs proposed in the Strategic Plan include the following: <br /> <br />1. Conceptual modeling and synthesis of existing knowledge; <br />2. Physical resource program; <br />3. Cultural resource program; <br />4. Biological resource program; <br />5. Socioeconomic resource program; <br />6. Information technology program; <br />7. Science Advisory Board. <br /> <br />Each of these areas represent components of the long-term program from which information will <br /> <br />be developed to address objectives and information needs specified by stakeholders. <br /> <br />Conceptual Modeling and Synthesis of Existing Knowledge <br /> <br />The development of conceptual models of the Colorado River and Lake Powell <br /> <br />ecosystems will be completed in FY 98 and FY 99 of the Strategic Plan. The intent of the models <br /> <br />will be to examine resource elements that respond to variable operating criteria of Glen Canyon <br /> <br />Dam. <br /> <br />Final Draft - (12/15/97) For AMWG Review <br />
