Groups unite to map challenges to 欧美口爆视频鈥檚 public lands

Land managers, residents and scientists across 欧美口爆视频鈥檚 Front Range are uniting to map how ecosystems and public lands are responding to pressures from people and climate change.

Researchers will adapt an advanced computer model of Earth systems to the Rocky Mountain environment. A measurement campaign on Niwot Ridge is helping develop and test the model.

At the same time, Carrico is learning from land managers how they make decisions in the face of public pressure and climate change. Those conversations will shape project research with land managers and residents.

鈥淲orking with local institutions on local problems鈥攖hat鈥檚 something we鈥檙e all excited about,鈥 investigator Keith Musselman said.
