SUMMARY:Spatial-Stream-Network (SSN) Models Training Workshop
DESCRIPTION:There will be another spatial-statistical-network (SSN) model training workshop in Boise\, Idaho this fall October 27–29 and that registration is now open (register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/spatial-modeling-workshop-oct-27-29-2025-tickets-1474764533419?aff=oddtdtcreator). \nIf you are interested in attending (or have a student that is)\, they recommend registering ASAP because it usually fills rapidly once registration opens. If you’d like to come to the workshop but the financial arrangements with your employer will take time to set up\, please contact Dan Isaak\, daniel.isaak@usda.gov\, and they’ll try to hold a spot for you. \nSpatial-Stream-Network Models training workshop background: \nA class of spatial statistical network model for data on stream networks has recently been developed & free software is available for implementing the models. SSNs account for network topology (i.e.\, flow direction\, stream size\, tributary confluences) and offer significant improvements over many traditional statistical techniques that were developed originally for terrestrial applications. The SSNs are applicable to common types of stream data (e.g.\, water quality attributes\, biological survey information\, genetic metrics\, habitat conditions) through application of several distributions (e.g.\, Gaussian\, binomial\, Poisson). The models also account for spatial autocorrelation among measurements\, which makes them powerful tools for mining information from large datasets aggregated from multiple sources or sampling designs that are clustered and nonrandom. For additional details\, please visit the SSN/STARS (https://research.fs.usda.gov/rmrs/projects/spatial-stream-network) and National Stream Internet websites (https://research.fs.usda.gov/rmrs/projects/national-stream-internet). \nThe 3-day workshop consists of a 1-day short-course & 2 days of working with course instructors to apply SSNs to participant’s datasets. Note that attendance is limited to 20 students to ensure a high-quality experience and sufficient interaction with course instructors. Workshop registration is $700 for students/postdocs and $1\,000 for professionals\, which does not include lodging or meals. \nThe workshop does include: \n-Sharing of free software tools used to conduct SSN analyses (SSNbler for spatial editing with GIS software (https://pet221.github.io/SSNbler/articles/introduction.html#background) and the SSN2 package (from GitHub: https://usepa.github.io/SSN2/ or CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SSN2/index.html) for analysis in R) \n-Demonstration of data processing steps necessary to calculate the spatial information needed to fit SSN models \n-Demonstration of how the SSN2 package is used for: \n\nExploratory data analysis\nModelling continuous\, presence/absence\, and count data using spatial linear\, linear mixed-effects\, and generalized linear models\nModel diagnostics and selection\nPrediction (kriging) and block kriging (estimating totals for discrete areas)\nUncertainty estimation\nSimulation and spatial visualization techniques for streams data using ggplot2\n\n-Discussions of when spatial statistical techniques are most useful and the many new applications that are possible for stream data; \n-Working with instructors to apply the SSNs to your data \n*Note that a good working knowledge of statistics and the R statistical program are useful to obtain the greatest benefits from the workshop. Participants at the 3-day workshop must bring a laptop with access to R statistical software and a GIS of your choice (Recommended: ArcGIS Pro with standard or advanced license or QGIS software). For more background on SSN model theory\, applications\, and software developments\, up-to-date bibliographies are maintained at the SSN & NSI websites linked above\, as are example datasets and documentation associated with implementing SSN analyses.

SUMMARY:Lake Roosevelt Forum 2025 Conference
DESCRIPTION:Lake Roosevelt Forum 2025 Conference \nOctober 28 & 29\, 2025 \nCenterPlace Regional Event Center • Spokane Valley \nLake Roosevelt Forum \nFall is coming and so is the Lake Roosevelt Forum Conference\, set for October 28 & 29 at the CenterPlace in Spokane Valley\, WA. The Forum will convene a range of specialists from tribal\, federal\, state\, and local agencies\, in addition to community members and property owners. \nRegistration is open now\, an early bird rate available through September 26. The Forum will also have scholarships available for students and community members. \nThe theme this year is Reconnecting for the Future. That is\, coming together again for the first time since COVID to: \n\nshowcase and stimulate increased coordination around essential work being done to meet the unique and distinct needs of Lake Roosevelt\,\nexplore policy\, technical\, and public engagement dynamics taking us into the future\,\nwelcome new faces taking on this important work as the baton is handed from one generation to the next and re-establish dialogue and facilitate the exchange of information with the hope of taking steps towards a collaborative future.\n\nThe agenda is currently under development\, and we expect to make announcements highlighting featured speakers and sessions soon. In the meantime\, participants can expect an energizing two days engaging with each other on local and regional approaches to a broad range of interconnected issues: \n\nInvasive species\nColumbia Plateau Regional Aquifer System\nInland lakes management\nAgriculture\, irrigation\, and drought\nNew developments in recreation\, access\, and promotion\nWater quality\nHydropower\nUpper Columbia salmon reintroduction\nToxics and remediation efforts\nFisheries\nTransboundary perspectives\n\nBe sure to stay tuned to their electronic news or follow us on social media for updates on the conference and Register Now! \nTo become a conference sponsor\, contact Executive Director Happy Avery at happy.avery@lrf.org.
