CSHS Webinar:

Stream Temperatures Response to Forest Harvesting: Why Hydrology Matters

 

Date: June 8, 2023

 

Stream temperature exerts a critical control on aquatic habitat and is a key forest management concern in many jurisdictions. Decades of research highlight that stream temperature typically increases following harvesting, but the magnitude of the response can vary, partly due to hydrology. In this presentation, we will explore how groundwater, headwater lakes, and intermittent streamflow can influence stream temperature response to forest harvesting and what this might mean for watershed management.

Taught by Dr. Jason Leach, Canadian Forest Service of Natural Resources Canada.  This webinar features a presentation by the guest speaker followed by a Q&A session.
