On studies in glen and grand canyons, valdez and carothers (1998) concluded that, we believe that in glen canyon environmental studies phase ii, 1993.
Glen canyon environmental studies-phase ii the gces phase ii studies were directed by the department of the inte- rior to address as many of the nrc/wstb recommendations as possible. One of the very first that we took on was the issue of hiring a senior scientist to direct the development of an integrated and comprehensive sci- entific program.
The glen canyon environmental studies (gces) were strongly affected by the institutional environment within which they developed and operated. The purpose of this chapter is to explore the connection between institutional arrangements and the scientific research conducted in gces.
Aug 1, 1986 research, termed the glen canyon environmental studies phase ii, was phase i gces economic studies had not considered nonuse value.
To support this process, the second phase of glen canyon environmental studies are keyed to the scientific and economic evaluation of alternative management scenarios. Prior to the influx of river runners and the advent of dams, the river required very little active management by the national park service (nps).

In this new phase, geomorphology must become more interactive with other environmental sciences, and must establish socially relevant paradigms for include operations at glen canyon dam on the colorado river, dams on the gunnison.
The final environmental impact statement (eis), dated march 21,1995 (fes 95-8). The eis on the operation of glen canyon dam was prepared with an unprecedented amount of scientific research, public involvement, and stakeholder cooperation. Scientific evidence gathered during phase i of the glen canyon environmental studies (gces).

This is the same logic that was used with the glen canyon environmental studies, which led to development of the initial environmental impact statement on the operations of glen canyon dam – a comprehensive study showing that long-term ecosystem sustainability for the colorado river is not possible with the dam in place.
Glen canyon environmental studies phase ii draft integrated research plan, volume 2 item preview.
While the national park service, native americans, river runners, and scientists had noticed that some beaches were disappearing and that plant and animal life along the colorado river were changing since glen canyon dam was completed in 1963, the glen canyon environmental studies program of the bureau of reclamation was the first systematic effort to investigate the effects of dam operations.
They did so by creating the glen canyon environmental studies (gces) program in december of 1982, recently renamed the grand canyon monitoring and research center. Using funds from the crsp, the gces employs a multi-disciplinary approach to assess the implications of the dam on the system and to respond to public concerns.
In 1982, wegner, an ecologist, was hired by the bureau of reclamation to manage what sounded like a reasonably unthreatening new program: the glen canyon environmental studies.

The glen canyon dam adaptive management program, which was implemented as a result of the 1996 record of decision on the operation of glen canyon dam final environmental impact statement, is managed by reclamation and largely through hydropower revenues, annually funds.
Dave wegner has a background in biology and geomorphology specializing in river basin management. He worked for the us bureau of reclamation during his early career and led the glen canyon environmental studies (gces) program from 1982- 1996, which was the precursor to the glen canyon dam adaptive management program.
