13 Satellite and Airborne Remote Sensing Applications Manuscript in review in Fisheries TU and University of Georgia Changes in riparian veg, stream temp and redband habitat over time
14 Southwestern Native Trout Existing and Proposed Temperature Monitoring and Fish Distribution
15 TU developed a new approach to trout population viability Helps answer our most basic question: How much habitat is needed for a trout population to persist for the long term? Prior to this project, we depended on basic rules of thumb such as the need for at least 500 adults in a population. But now we have access to remote sensing habitat data. Information is borrowed across many observations in space and time can extrapolate to poorly- or un-sampled populations This allows us to make estimates in locations with limited or no data and explore which variables across the landscape most affect viability including climate change 4 year project funded by NASA Research team includes Trout Unlimited US Forest Service US Fish & Wildlife US Geological Survey University of Georgia University of Montana Habitat data Climate data 15

32 INNOVATIVE CONSERVATION APPROACHES & TOOLS
33 Innovative Data Visualization and Mapping Tools Idaho Water Transaction Tool Tool for TU staff and partners to evaluate water transaction opportunities in locations where bull trout will likely persist under warming climate based on USFS Climate Shield data. By prioritizing restoration work within bull trout lifeboats, TU and partners can ensure a lasting impact of their work. Allows users to interactively query and filter for opportunities using criteria like bull trout status, diversion-related water use, and presence of public lands, then explore source data in a map viewer.
