Software and Predictive Models

Years of experience has put FORT Scientists in the unique position of being able to use their expertise to develop innovative and important natural resource management tools. These tools are as diverse as our scientists ranging from software for use in Instream Flow studies to complex database systems for identifying wild horses. In use around the world, these software and modeling products are available for download only from FORT.

Blossom Statistical Software

Blossom is an interactive program for making statistical comparisons with distance-function based permutation tests and for testing parameters estimated in linear models with permutation procedures.

CloseTest

CloseTest is a Windows program for testing capture-recapture data for closure, where closure means no individuals were added to or lost from the population of interest over the sampling period. Test statistics are computed using the closure test presented in Stanley and Burnham.

Instream Flow Incremental Methodology

The Instream Flow Incremental Methodology is a framework for approaching various issues related to developing an instream flow policy that incorporates multiple or variable flow rules to meet the needs of the aquatic ecosystem while considering habitat-flow relationships, timing of flow events, institutional arrangements, and water supply.

 

 

Legal Institutional Analysis Model
(LIAM)

The Legal-Institutional Analysis Model (LIAM) was designed to accomplish three goals: (1) plan for participation in a negotiation, (2) predict organizational behavior, and (3) examine likely negotiation strategies.

Moist Soil Management Advisor
(MSMA)

The Moist-Soil Management Advisor (MSMA) software provides a tool to assist wetland managers in the development of annual management plans for a moist-soil complex composed of several individual units.

Physical Habitat Assessmet Model
(PHABSIM)

This set of programs is designed to predict microhabitat conditions in rivers as a function of streamflow and the relative suitability of those microhabitat conditions to aquatic life.

Stream Network Temperature Model
(SNTEMP)

SNTEMP predicts the water temperature in streams and rivers from data describing the stream's geometry, meteorology, and hydrology. It handles a dendritic network of streams through time and space.

System Impact Assessment Model
(SIAM)

SIAM is a suite of models for the Klamath River in northern California. SIAM integrates a water quantity model (MODSIM), a water quality model (HEC-5Q), and a fish production model (SALMOD), to aid the evaluation of water management alternatives.

Win 95 and newer

Time Series Library
(TSLIB)

TSLIB programs provide for data entry, analysis, and display of daily or monthly flow or habitat values. Some programs are useful for integrating microhabitat and macrohabitat, and some are of value in the analysis of water operations systems.
