| Title | Physical Habitats of Salmonids in a Glacial Watershed, Copper River, Alaska |

| Description | The geomorphology of the Copper River Watershed in southeast Alaska is dominated by glacial and periglacial processes, which drive the ecology of aquatic organisms in the Copper River and its many tributaries. Glacial-fed rivers are typically found in high-altitudes or high latitudes.
