This perspective is derived from objectives and information needs specified by agencies, Native American tribes and other stakeholders, relating to cultural resources and their association with other resources in the Colorado River corridor. Furthermore, the cultural resources program manager is responsible for coordination with other program managers to incorporate Native American concerns in these programs. A Cultural Resource Data Synthesis Within the Colorado River Ecosystem.
Final report is currently under review.
Modeling of Mainstem Flow and Sediment Dynamics at Selected Cultural Resource Locations. Modeling deposition relative to flow stages at archaeological sites, because sediment deposition is believed to slow the rates of erosion at sites. Test and Apply a Geomorphic Model Related to Erosion of Pre-Dam River Terraces in the Colorado River Ecosystem Containing Cultural Materials. Testing a geomorphic model that posits that reduction in high flood episodes reduces sediments deposited at the base of arroyos. In combination regulated flows lower river base level.
