Description:
This study examines the vulnerability of the Columbia Wetlands to climate change based on their location using a combination of field investigation and hydrological modelling, with special attention paid to […]
Description:
In 2024, CWSP continued to study the hydrology and ecology of the Columbia River floodplain wetlands. We monitored water levels and water quality in 37 wetlands and conducted migratory bird […]
Description:
Within the Upper Columbia Wetland, an area known for its undammed and relatively natural floodplain wetlands, there is a series of wetlands colloquially known as the Bench Wetlands that exist along […]
Description:
The Columbia Wetlands are a series of floodplain wetlands within the Upper Columbia River Basin in Canada which exist in the only undammed portion of the river system. As these […]
Description:
In 2024, CWSP conducted two areas of research in wetlands on the upland bench west of Columbia Lake. This area was identified in previous work as particularly vulnerable to climate […]
Description:
The western upland bench of the Columbia Valley provides a suitable landscape for many small wetland features where minimal investigative work has been completed. In 2023, we visited 371 of […]
Description:
This report focuses on the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to investigate climate change vulnerability of wetlands and restoration effectiveness. The eDNA method allows estimation of species richness from […]
Description:
This project combines hydrological and ecological assessments to better understand the Columbia Wetland Complex and the individual wetlands within it. It includes a hydrological classification of the different wetland types […]
Description:
MacDonald Hydrology Consultants (MacHydro) in collaboration with the Columbia Wetland Stewardship Partners (CWSP) conducted a project to evaluate wetland vulnerability and determine priority wetlands where management actions like conservation or […]
Description:
Recent hydroclimatic change has impacted flows and floodplain inundation patterns on the Upper Columbia River, BC, Canada, leading to a reduction in open water wetland areas. The over-arching objective was […]
