PNPTC Stream Modeling – Phase 5: Peak Flow Projections – 2024 – Technical summary report for Phase 4 of the PNPTC stream modeling project which details projected peak flow frequency and intensity changes for 15 fish-bearing watersheds in the eastern Olympic Peninsula and western Kitsap Peninsula under an RCP 8.5 warming scenario.
Estuary Modeling and Other Habitat Projects
PNPTC Sea Level Rise Modeling – Projected Habitat Changes – 2019 – Summary of the findings from the PNPTC sea level rise project. This report examines the potential impacts associated with a projected increase in sea level on estuary and marsh habitat in three important Hood Canal and Strait of Juan de Fuca nearshore environments.
PNPTC Estuary Habitat – Baseline Estuary Habitat Classification – 2019 – Habitat delineations report and methodologies for the Duckabush, Quilcene, and Snow/Salmon estuaries. The results of this project were used as baseline habitat classifications for the PNPTC sea level rise project.
PNPTC Estuary Modeling Pilot Study – In Progress – Pilot study which couples watershed and estuary modeling methodologies to better assess the combined impacts of sea level rise, storm surge, and streamflow changes on habitat and infrastructure in the mid-Hood Canal and eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca.
