This project examines how different wetland types in Suisun Marsh influence plankton production to better understand when and how managed wetlands can boost food availability for fish.

This project studies how fish have colonized newly created tidal wetlands at Dutch Slough while also examining carbon flux and bird usage in the restored habitat.

This project monitors fish and invertebrate populations in Suisun Marsh to track trends in sensitive and native species, guide water management decisions, and provide a long-term baseline for research on wetland health and restoration.

This project investigates how floodplain restoration influences juvenile salmon growth, food webs, and survival to inform habitat management and flow decisions in California’s Central Valley.

This project monitors Chinook salmon abundance, reproduction, and migration in Putah Creek through carcass surveys, juvenile trapping, acoustic tagging, and ecological studies, supporting science-based conservation and serving as a training ground for future fisheries and watershed professionals.

This project uses chemical markers in salmon otoliths and eye lenses to reconstruct detailed, time-resolved habitat histories and quantify the role of key environments, particularly floodplains, in the survival of endangered and natural-origin Chinook salmon in the Sacramento River.

This project supports the reintroduction of endangered winter-run Chinook salmon to the McCloud River by implementing a comprehensive monitoring program that tracks productivity, survival, health, migration, and ecological conditions to inform management decisions and evaluate reintroduction success in collaboration with tribal, state, and federal partners.

This project investigates thiamine deficiency in California Chinook and coho salmon, linking dietary shifts toward northern anchovies to reproductive failure and neurological dysfunction, while developing monitoring and mitigation strategies to protect endangered populations.

This program quantifies agricultural production, land use, water use, economic value and employment using optimization approaches such as the SWAP model (http://SWAP.ucdavis.edu) and statistical information.

This study for the state Delta Protection Commission compared the effectiveness of using new remotely sensed measurement technology to estimate farmers' "consumptive water use," or the amount of irrigation water crops transpire and evaporate from the nearby soil.
