The study of streams is inherently multidisciplinary involving a broad array of physical, biological and social sciences. This class will take a trip down the Tuolumne River and study the ecology of this riparian environment. Research performed on 2 separate trips (June 15-18 and June 21-24) included vegetation and substrate mapping, fish surveys, seining, and electrofishing, macroinvertebrate collection, and herpetology studies. Cross sections were developed using a laser range finder for the Mainstem Tuolumne, 2 locations on the Clavey River, 2 locations on the North Fork Tuolumne River, and near Indian Creek.
