Our field work season is just about to take off just like this drone that’s headed up over rivers in the Great Lakes region to monitor coldwater refugia for trout.  

Using a drone outfitted with thermal imaging technology allows TU to look for groundwater influences. Knowing where cold water is entering streams helps restoration teams prioritize areas for work.

Projects like these are happening all over the country helping rivers and communities thrive by understanding habitat dynamics, restoring rivers, providing local jobs and fostering our recreation economy.
