Examples of <br /> <br />Technical Support requests include: <br /> <br />· Copies of existing map products and aerial photo sets. <br />· Processing requests to GIS for new map products. <br />· Scheduling Field Equipment (i.e. Computers, handheld GPS units, digital cameras, <br />etc.). <br />· Scheduling personnel required to assist with field work. <br />· Consultation with GIS personnel for recommendations on data collection methods to <br />achieve effective integration with the GIS. <br />· Consultation with Database personnel for advice on data collection formatting to <br />achieve effective integration with the GCMRC Database. <br /> <br />Additionally, future dissemination of essential information to researchers related to <br />permitting procedures, trip planning and survey and technical support requests will necessitate <br />utilization of the GCMRC web page. Development of a Research Coordination and Support <br />Program web page will include information pages and access to on-line forms to submit requests <br />for scheduling river trips, and survey and technical support. The web pages will be developed in <br />cooperation with the Information Office staff. <br /> <br />BIOSCIENCES PROGRAM <br /> <br />Terrestrial Resources <br />Terrestrial resources of interest to stakeholders in the adaptive management program <br />include riparian vegetation, riparian breeding birds and waterfowl, invertebrates including Kanab <br />ambersnail, small mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Recommendations from a protocol <br />evaluation panel (Urquhart et aI., 2000) were incorporated into 2001 monitoring and research <br />plans, and portions of this work continue to be evaluated and implemented through 2005. <br />Through FY05 terrestrial monitoring included a yearly field-based assessment of <br />vegetation cover, species richness and diversity at 60 transect sites along the CRE at discharges <br />of 15,25,35,45, and 60k cfs. The intent of these longitudinal transects at set discharges are to <br />link changes in measured vegetation parameters to operations and climatic patterns. Multi-year <br />data sets through 2003 indicate that operations and the extended drought affect vegetation cover <br /> <br />GCMRC FY2006 Annual Work Plan (Draft February 15,2005) <br />
