• The goal of the 2.5-day workshop was to develop a decision modeling framework for conserving aquatic species in Aridland ecosystems. Participants were provided with background on current management and monitoring efforts and state of the science an overview of the general concepts of Structured Decision-Making and Adaptive Resource Management. The participants then applied SDM concepts to create decision models for predicting the effects of alternative management strategies on desired outcomes. (Jim Peterson April 2011)
• Development of an Adaptive Management Framework for Managing Natural Resources at Tims Ford Dam. (Instructor: Jim Peterson, Assistant: Don Dennerline) (Don Dennerline, Jim Peterson July 2010)
