River Analysis
|
 |
The River Bathymetry Toolkit (RBT) helps us understand the complexities of river systems using an Arc GIS platform. |
 |
The Geomorphic Change Detection (GCD) tool was developed primarily for morphological sediment budgeting in rivers but can be applied to many different spatial change detection problems. |
Fish Management
|
| The Okanagan Fish Water Management Tool (OKFWM) guides real-time water release decisions at the Okanagan Lake Dam. |
| The Integrated Costs Database Tool enables users to explore various combinations of fish sampling approaches in the Columbia River Basin. |
| The Salmon Viability Monitoring Model allows users to explore how alternative monitoring strategies might affect salmon population viability assessments. |
| The MERCI data management tool provides data warehousing and weekly catch statistics for roving and access site creel surveys. |
| The MERCI Precision Estimation Tool (PET) is a stand-alone software package designed to estimate precision of bootstrap simulation data generated by the MERCI software. |
Terrestrial Modelling
|
| A computerized harvest planning system based on the current Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) guidelines for setting moose harvest quotas. |
| RISKMAN, a sophisticated model for risk management of wildlife populations. |
| The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS; also known as Prognosis) is an individual-tree, distance-independent forest stand projection model, simulating the growth and mortality of a sample of a stand’s trees. |
 |
The Tool for Exploratory Landscape Scenario Analyses (TELSA) is a spatially explicit, GIS-based landscape-level model for simulating terrestrial ecosystem dynamics. |
 |
The Vegetation Dynamics Development Tool (VDDT) provides a state and transition landscape modelling framework for examining the role of various disturbance agents and management actions in vegetation change. |
| Path Landscape Model - this vegetation modeling tool uses state-and-transition models to simulate vegetation conditions on a landscape into the future by considering the interaction between succession, unplanned disturbance and planned actions. |
Water Management
|
| The Ecological Flows Tool (EFT) is a database centered software system for linking flow management actions to changes in the physical habitats for several focal species of concern. |
| The Okanagan Fish Water Management Tool (OKFWM) guides real-time water release decisions at the Okanagan Lake Dam. |
| Use of decision analysis to design adaptive flow management experiments in Clear Creek, northern California; US Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. |
Carbon Accounting
|
| Simulation modelling of the Canadian forest sector carbon budget for the Canadian Forest Service. |
| Forest Product Sector (FPS) model traces the carbon in forests from harvest through processing into products and finally to landfills. |
Decision Support
|
| Decision support tool (DST) for addressing invasive species in Garry oak and associated ecosystems (GOEs). |
| Fish Forestry Interaction Program Management Model (FFIP-MM) integrates the complex chain of processes that links upslope logging activities with distant changes in fish habitat. |
| Development of a Decision Support Tool for Canada Goose Management. |
