Additional information and details on these projects and funded <br /> <br />proposals are on file at the GCMRC. <br /> <br />The following projects were implemented as part of the FY 98 physical science program <br /> <br />for monitoring and research. All of these projects are currently proposed to continue into, and in <br /> <br />some cases, throughout FY99 at the funding levels indicated below. However, the GCMRC may <br /> <br />elect to revise existing agreements or issue new agreements based on FY 98 program <br /> <br />accomplishments and AMWG concerns. <br /> <br />Pro;ect #1: "An Intevrated Historical Analvsis of Flow. Sediment Transport. and Channel- <br /> <br />Side Sediment Storage Between Lees Ferrv and Middle Granite GONe in Grand Canvon." <br /> <br />will be conducted by Principle Investigator Dr. John C. Schmidt, Geography Department, Utah <br /> <br />State University, Logan, Utah. Cost of the project is projected at $200,000 over 2.0 years, or <br /> <br />$100,000 in FY 98, and FY 99 if extended by GCMRC. <br /> <br />Research Objectives of the project are as follows: <br /> <br />1. To the greatest extent possible, electronically compile all pre-existing information on <br />flow and sediment processes, and physical-resource conditions throughout the <br />Colorado River ecosystem over the period in which historic records exist (including <br />scanned data files of historic photographs whenever possible). <br /> <br />2. In the context of the above information, summarize and interpret identified patterns <br />and conditions of sediment and sediment-related resources (including physical-habitat <br />characteristics) throughout the Colorado River ecosystem; resolution of changes might <br />vary from annual to decade scales. <br /> <br />3. As a hypothesis, propose one or more process-response m' :d(s) to explain. <br />documented relations, if any, between historic patterns of, . 'ge in sediment and <br />sediment-related resources of the Colorado River ecosyste' 1d key flow regimes <br />during the pre- versus post-dam eras. <br /> <br />Final Draft - (12/15/97) For AMWG Review <br />
