Contract Description:
Project Summary:
Alluvial valleys are diverse centers of physical and biological complexity that moderate river water temperature within the ceded rivers of the Umatilla Tribes.    This project will focus on alluvial valleys across 26,300 km2 (in NE Oregon and SW Washington), describe how valley morphology and hydrologic regime interact to determine the character and magnitude of temperature influence on the river channel, and use this understanding to predict 1) the potential distribution of Chinook and Summer Steelhead habitats and 2) how different alluvial forms influence water temperature regimes.

B244930162Analyze/Interpret DataAnalyze patterns of water temperatures (CTUIR and MSU)Complete the 2-d model of stream temperature patterns on Meacham Creek (and submit the work for publication) and begin to assess the effects of the restoration based on a 3-d model including effect of the hyporheic zone. This work builds on the 1-d model we demonstrated in the TempTool. Efforts on this WE will be undertaken by the CTUIR and MSU.$51,80028.11%05/15/202305/14/2024

We report on our progress by year. Monitoring occurs over the period that Spring Chinook Salmon (CSH) spawning occurs.

D244932162Analyze/Interpret DataMeacham Creek, Oregon, Case Study (CTUIR and MSU)1). This effort continues on-going monitoring, and modeled water temperature data, on the restoration of several miles of Meacham Creek, Oregon. We will test our methods (using numerical models) on this project. This project also presents an excellent example that can help us determine how well our simplified (thermal signatures) method can describe the patterns and scale of hyporheic exchange at work on Meacham Creek. Additionally, this WE is a direct integration between our broader efforts to produce applied research and the implementation of our work (through restoration designs) at project scales. 2). Reanalyze Meacham Creek, Oregon, describing the role of hyporheic exchange in partitioning of stream thermal regime Efforts on this WE will be undertaken by both the CTUIR and MSU.$31,95017.34%05/15/202305/14/2024

F244934183Produce Journal ArticleThe effects of floodplain shade on hyporheic zone temperatures (CTUIR and MSU)This WE, we will describe the development of a manuscript, leading to a publication, that compares the 2-d influence of floodplain shade and hyporheic exchange in regulating stream temperatures. The results of this publication will shed light on an unexamined and wide-spread practice in stream restoration - clearing large sections of the floodplain to create space to increase stream sinuosity. Additionally, we will begin work on a second paper that describes the dynamics of a 3-d model of floodplain shade. We anticipate comparing the 2-d and 3-d models to show the effects of extra realism on outputs and evaluate the outputs relative to the extra effort required for a 3-d output. Again, these hyporheic exchange is a dominant process in the coarse-bedded alluvial floodplains that constitute much of the high quality habitat for salmonids across the Columbia River Basin.
