Linking Landscape Variables to Cold Water Refugia in Rivers

The protection of cold water refugia within aquatic systems requires the identification of thermal habitats in rivers. These refugia provide critical thermal habitats for brook trout and Atlantic salmon during periods of thermal stress, for example during summer high temperature events. This study aims to model these refugia using thermal infrared images collected during late July 2008 and 2009 for a reach of the Cains River, New Brunswick, Canada.
