HYDROMETRIC MONITORING
Having long term temperature data is essential for assessing the effects of climate change. ERA has deployed long term temperature loggers that record daily, seasonal, and annual changes in temperature. Over time, the data collected will be used by biologists, climate change researchers, land managers, and industry groups to better understand the effects of climate change on the Elk River and its tributaries.
MONITORING STATIONS
Each yellow and red point on the map represents one of our 19 temperature loggers and each blue and yellow point represents one of 5 hydrometric stations.
