Temperature Monitoring

As part of the state-wide stream temperature monitoring program, AITRC deployed remote temperature loggers in the major tributaries to the Copper River and various other feeder streams. As ambient summer temperatures significantly affect non-glacial stream temperatures, emphasis was placed on the Gulkana River system. Partnered with USFWS, AITRC helped collect data from 119 remote loggers in the Middle and West Fork Gulkana above Sourdough. An MOU is in place for AITRC to take over this project.
