Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory

04 May, 01 AM - 04 May, 10 AM

The purpose of this class is to train professional eastern Sierra stream monitoring practitioners in the State of California's new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for sampling stream algae. The course will be taught by Dr. Betty Fetscher (co-author of the SOPs), and is limited to 15 students. Trainees will include 3 staff at SNARL, 4 staff from the San Jose State University Research Foundation, 7 staff from the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board, and 1 staff from the State Water Resources Control Board. The class is full. This will be a one-day training at SNARL on May 4, with May 12 being held as a back-up in case of bad weather or bad road conditions on the primary date. We would like to use the dorm classroom for approx 1 hour in the morning (8-9am) and then proceed to Convict Cr where Dr. Fetscher will demonstrate the methods. (We do not need lodging at the site.) There will be no disturbance to the reserve other than the class participants gently walking about and scraping algae off some stream-bottom rocks as part of the demonstration. Nothing will be removed from the reserve. All participants understand that they must arrive with clean waders, free of any potential invasive species. The SOPs can be viewed at: http://swamp.mpsl.mlml.calstate.edu/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/SWAMP_SOP_Algae_Field_Collection_070109.pdf THANK YOU for your consideration of this request !!!
