+ | Management Program and to make recommendations to improve it. Responsibilities of the | ||
+ | panels include: | ||
+ | * Reviewing Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program monitoring and research programs and protocols; | ||
+ | * Providing reports based on their review to the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center, Technical Work Group, and Adaptive Management Work Group; | ||
+ | * Making recommendations and providing advice to the Adaptive Management Work Group, Technical Work Group, and Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center regarding science activities; | ||
+ | * Assessing proposed research plans and programs, technical reports and publications, and other program accomplishments; and | ||
+ | * Conducting five-year reviews of Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center monitoring and research protocols. [http://www.riversimulator.org/Resources/GCDAMP/GCDAMPchronicle/StrategicPlanGCDamp2001.pdf] | ||
