The temperature of freshwater is important for fish growth, distribution, and productivity. Alaska has many different types of freshwater habitats and commercially and culturally important fisheries that depend on cold water. However, until recently, state-wide freshwater temperature data was challenging to access and use. A public database (AKTEMP) was recently developed to allow people to upload and download freshwater temperature data across the state to help inform research, conservation, and management actions. To help people use this database, a training workshop in Fairbanks will be held for organizations based in Interior Alaska, where temperature datasets are sparse. Outreach efforts will include targeted invitations to Tribal organizations, federal agencies, and state agencies in the region. The training will cover how to collect stream temperature data and how to use the AKTEMP database, with time in both the field and the classroom. The temperature training will facilitate the creation of a new temperature observing network that will increase collaboration and coordination among data collectors in Interior Alaska. One goal is improved freshwater temperature coordination efforts in Alaska. The major anticipated outcome from this work is a substantial increase in freshwater temperature information from Interior Alaska, filling a crucial data gap in an area with culturally important fisheries currently threatened by warming freshwater habitats.Stream temperature data are critical for understanding the impacts of climate change in aquatic ecosystems and is an important input to stream temperature and salmon growth models. As other data types, such as hydrographic, climatic, and topographic datasets, have become more widely available, empirical stream temperature datasets remain a crucial data gap to parameterize and validate stream temperature models in many parts of Alaska. The Yukon-Kuskokwim basins of Interior Alaska have experienced warming that threatens Chinook and chum salmon populations that provide food resources for Alaska Native communities in the region. This training will convene interested parties, including representatives from Tribal organizations, and federal and state agencies, from across Interior Alaska to learn how to select sites and deploy data loggers, perform recommended quality assurance steps, download, and analyze stream temperature data, and use the new statewide stream temperature database, AKTEMP. This training will result in formation of a new temperature observing network in Interior Alaska, filling a crucial data gap in our understanding of stream temperatures in this region of the Arctic and empowering collection of stream temperature data by local organizations in remote regions of Alaska.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

淡水温度对于鱼类生长、分布和生产力很重要。阿拉斯加拥有许多不同类型的淡水栖息地以及依赖冷水的具有重要商业和文化意义的渔业。然而，直到最近，全州范围内的淡水温度数据的获取和使用仍然具有挑战性。最近开发了一个公共数据库（AKTEMP），允许人们上传和下载全州的淡水温度数据，以帮助为研究、保护和管理行动提供信息。为了帮助人们使用该数据库，将在费尔班克斯为阿拉斯加内陆地区的组织举办培训研讨会，那里的温度数据集很少。外展工作将包括向该地区的部落组织、联邦机构和州机构发出有针对性的邀请。培训将涵盖如何收集河流温度数据以及如何使用 AKTEMP 数据库，包括现场和课堂培训。温度培训将有助于建立新的温度观测网络，从而加强阿拉斯加内陆数据收集者之间的协作和协调。目标之一是改善阿拉斯加的淡水温度协调工作。这项工作的主要预期成果是阿拉斯加内陆淡水温度信息的大幅增加，填补了该地区重要的数据空白，该地区具有重要文化意义的渔业目前受到淡水栖息地变暖的威胁。溪流温度数据对于了解气候变化的影响至关重要在水生生态系统中，是溪流温度和鲑鱼生长模型的重要输入。随着水文、气候和地形数据集等其他数据类型的使用变得越来越广泛，经验流温度数据集仍然是阿拉斯加许多地区参数化和验证流温度模型的关键数据缺口。阿拉斯加内陆的育空-库斯科奎姆盆地经历了变暖，威胁到为该地区的阿拉斯加原住民社区提供食物资源的奇努克鲑鱼和大鲑鱼种群。该培训将召集感兴趣的各方，包括来自阿拉斯加内陆地区的部落组织、联邦和州机构的代表，学习如何选择站点和部署数据记录器、执行建议的质量保证步骤、下载和分析流温度数据以及使用新的全州河流温度数据库 AKTEMP。这次培训将导致在阿拉斯加内陆形成一个新的温度观测网络，填补我们了解北极该地区河流温度的关键数据空白，并使阿拉斯加偏远地区的当地组织能够收集河流温度数据。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
