Welcome to the home page of the Ozarks Stream
Geomorphology Project, a research project investigating the effects of land use
and climate change on Ozarks streams and their ecology. This project is
designed to provide land managers with information that will help conserve aquatic habitat
in the context of environmental change. Research is conducted by the Biological Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey and involves a team of hydrologists
from the Columbia Environmental Research Center
in collaboration with biologists from the Cooperative Research Unit,
University of Missouri-Columbia. This web site will guide you through the
project's principal research questions, the biological and geological tools used, and will
link you to technical publications.
