IEP Journal Publications

IEP publications describe and interpret the results of projects in the San Francisco Estuary that fall into at least one of three categories:

• a project that was funded all or in part by the IEP and/or received Endangered Species Act (ESA) coverage via the IEP;
• a project that made use of substantial amounts of data or information provided by the IEP, or;
• a project that was conducted by IEP-affiliated authors and who chose to identify their affiliation as being with the IEP.

Recent IEP Journal Articles

• NEW The following research articles are now available in a Special Issue of the San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Sciences journal, and together comprise an indispensable output from the IEP Drought Synthesis Team lead by Dr. Rosemary Hartman. These articles are timely, informative, readable, and form the basis for understanding how the Estuary is likely to change as we move forward into the future with a changing global climate.
