Taylor Woods presents at the first station on stream ecology and benthic macroinvertebrates during the Congressional Event at Patuxent Research Refuge
Taylor E. Woods, Ph.D.
Taylor is a research ecologist at the USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center Center in Kearneysville, WV
Dr. Taylor Woods is a macroecologist whose research investigates the effects of global change on biodiversity, body size, and phenology in freshwaters.

Using Multiple Indicators to Assess Stream Condition in the Chesapeake Bay
USGS is working with federal, state and local partners to develop multiple assessments of stream and river conditions in non-tidal areas of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. These assessments will help managers preserve stream health and improve biological conditions in impaired streams as the human population and climate continue to change in this region.
Observed monitoring data and predictive modelling help understand ongoing and future vulnerability of Chesapeake Bay watershed stream fish communities to climate and land-use change
Issue: The Chesapeake Bay Watershed (CBW) is experiencing effects of climate (warming temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns) and land-use/land-cover (LULC; transition from forest or agriculture to developed lands) change, and these trends are likely to continue under future scenarios of warming and population growth. Stream biodiversity may be vulnerable to ongoing and future climate...
Communicating stream fish vulnerability to climate change
We will develop a vulnerability assessment R Shiny web application and present to stakeholders. The stakeholder feedback will be summarized into a one page ‘lessons learned’ document that will assist researchers in designing effective climate change visualizations and an R markdown ‘quick start’ guide on R Shiny applications.
