Collection of attendees from Eugene / PDX airport. We will make one or two collections at each airport. Collection times will depend on when the majority of the attendees will be arriving. Rental cars, Anthony's Airport Shuttle (Ph: 541-753-7831) are alternatives.
8:30 am - Workshop overview, summary of sites included in the study. Presentation of intersite comparisons for HJA, HBR, CWT, LUQ, CAS. Introduce each of the sites in turn and the representative from that site.
9:30 am - Influence of the snowpack. Comparison between high (HBR), medium (HJA) and low (CWT) snowpack sites. Year to year variability. Presenters include Martin, Grant.
10 am - Morning tea
10:30 am - Seasonality of precipitation. Seasonal Vs non-seasonal sites. HJA, CAS Vs HBR, CWT, LUQ. Presenters include Ziemer, Schaefer.
11:30 am - Climate change and variability. Change in seasonality (HJA). Presenter : Post.
12:00 pm - Lunch
1:00 pm - Coniferous Vs Deciduous. (HJA, CAS Vs CWT, HBR). Presenters include Swank.
1:30 pm - Impact of forestry treatments for different vegetation types.
2:00 pm - Intra-site comparison of vegetation water use. Are the vegetation data adequate? Is the information on vegetation water use adequate? Presenters : Cohen, Yoder, Acker.
3 pm - Afternoon tea
3:30 pm - Field trip to WS01/2/3 and/or WS06/7/8.
6 pm - Dinner.
7:30 pm - Evening discussion to refine agenda for tomorrows discussion groups.
8:30am - Focus groups meet to answer questions formulated during yesterdays discussion. Sample questions may include :
- Vegetation - Can the water use of nearby small catchments be distinguished on the basis of vegetation?
What do we know about physiological hydrology? Can we scale from a leaf to catchment?
Impact of forestry treatments on streamflow.
Coniferous vs deciduous vegetation.
- Climate - Is the current data collection adequate? Catchment snowpack measurements for example.
Overlap between water availability and vegetation water use.
- Modellers - What data do we need? What is the best approach to take for regionalisation / catchment plumbing? Lumped vs physically-based models.
- Hydrologists - Data limitations - Accurate determination of catchment area, weir construction.
10 am - Morning tea
10:30 am - Focus groups report back to the main group. Continued discussion of key workshop issues.
12 pm - Lunch
1 pm - Potential for further intersite hydrological research;
- Approaches to hydrological regionalisation and disturbance modelling;
- Formulation of regionalisation / intersite work for presentation at May 1998 AGU Spring meeting
- Providing on-line access to data and site information for comparative analysis.
4 pm - Close of workshop.
