GCDAMP Strategic Plan

Independent Review Panels, as called for in the Glen Canyon Dam Environmental Impact Statement (Reclamation 1995:38), are comprised of qualified individuals not otherwise participating in the long-term monitoring and research studies. The panels include peer reviewers, science advisors, and protocol evaluation panels whose primary responsibility is to assess the quality of research, monitoring, or science being conducted by the Adaptive 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.
